Life at TMS
More than just a job behind the wheel.
Our drivers make us who we are. Our customers consistently tell us that our drivers are friendlier, more helpful, and have better customer service than other big bus companies. We're independently owned, and we've grown fast, but without losing what matters; friendly depots, managers who know the job and get behind the wheel themselves, and a culture of support, training and career progression. If you've not got a bus licence we'll fund your training, and we also pay for all CPC training for all of our colleagues. We also pay you for the time you spend undertaking the training. Most of our managers started as drivers themselves, and we have lots of opportunities for career progression. That might be following the traditional route into operational management roles, or perhaps becoming a Driver Trainer or Mentor. Some colleagues join our service delivery team, working as Service Controllers in our Operations Control Centre or installing and maintaining roadside infrastructure at bus stops across our network.
Trained and supported
No licence? We fund your PCV training and pay you while you learn. Already qualified? There is a clear path to supervisor and manager.
Promoted from within
Most of our supervisors and managers started behind the wheel. When you do well we notice, and we back you to go further.
Part of the community
Our Central Connect services connect the towns and villages of East Anglia, keeping people moving to work, school and family.
