First Glasgow has ramped up recruitment efforts in Greater Glasgow with a pay rise for its entry level drivers.

Drivers with an existing PCV licence will now enjoy a pay rate of £12/hour, and faster pay progression which promises to let colleagues “reach the highest rate of pay within just two years of joining”.

There are currently vacancies at the operator’s Blantyre, Overtown, Scotstoun, Dumbarton and City Centre (Caledonia) depots.

The new offer acts as an immediate benefit and means drivers can earn over £30,000 with overtime. A variety of work patterns are available, including two, three, four, five and six day weeks, flexible part-time shifts and a 25-hour working week across the Greater Glasgow area.

The higher rate of pay follows other recruitment incentives such as a £4,000 joining bonus after one year for new drivers, introduced last year.

“Our recruitment campaign is continuing at pace, and we are making every effort to attract new entrants to the industry with a number of different initiatives including flexible working patterns for drivers in Glasgow,” explains First Glasgow Head of Operations Paul Clark.

“The industry is experiencing a shortage in driver numbers at levels it has never seen before. We are actively looking to make our remuneration level as attractive as possible while making the application process as easier than ever for anyone wishing to apply.”
