Avanti - Qualified Driver Pool Euston (12/11/2021)

[Horizon22]

Recently posted for any qualified drivers interested in a switch in future!

If so, then you could be what we are looking for. We are creating a talent pool for qualified Drivers at our Euston depot. Successful candidates will be placed in a Talent Bank until positions are available.

If you feel you have the drive, commitment and qualities to become an important member of the Avanti West Coast team then read on. There is no restriction on eligibility for applications except that Drivers may not apply until they have completed their probationary period.

This is a safety-critical post and you will be required to undertake a full safety-critical medical examination and alcohol and substance screening.

Salary details: £51,661 per annum (experienced Driver without core routes & traction), rising to £57,225 per annum (fully qualified Driver with core routes and traction). The salary will increase incrementally in line with Driver terms and conditions to a maximum of £67,486 per annum after 2 years.

Not that it makes a difference to me sadly but is the probationary period 1 or 2 years, or does it depend on the company?

A number of committed Sundays to work though. Exact number I don’t know.

Does committed Sundays mean a certain number a year you have to work as (for lack of a better phrase) forced overtime?

Anybody on here know roster, earliest start / latest book off times for Euston? Also, what do they accept in terms of travel time? I'm 1 hour in car and 50 mins by train, wondering whether they will accept that or not?
