The Person
You will be required to make many decisions in the day-to-day supervision of the operations office. The majority of these will be based on procedure or good practice but the environment is fast paced and ever-changing, so you will need to be resilient, adaptable and able to make carefully thought through decisions.
You will need to be comfortable using modern technology and understanding data.
Some elements of the role will require independent working, so you will need to be able to work well on your own as well as part of a team. Being a good leader and setting a great example is essential – be prepared to motivate and lead staff, along with treating everybody fairly and with respect.
You must hold a full PCV Licence and CPC Card, as driving will still play a large part in your role.
You must be flexible, willing to work all hours and committed to delivering only the very best service to our customers.
You will be the first person in the depot each day, so an impeccable attendance record is essential.
Working Pattern
Supervisors currently work on a three line rota basis, which includes one-in-three Sundays, early starts and Bank Holidays. This may be subject to change.
Shifts are based at Norwich Bus Station and Dereham Depot, so you will be required to work from either site throughout the course of the rota. Cover may also be required at outstations in Postwick and Harleston.
