Compensation: £12.71 / hour
Description
We are looking for a reliable and friendly part-time Minibus Driver to join the team at Mercure Dumfries. You will provide a safe and punctual transport service for hotel guests, helping us meet our service commitments. You will represent the hotel professionally and work closely with the management team if schedules change.
The successful candidate will hold the appropriate licence to drive the minibus, have a good driving record and be confident working independently. Previous passenger transport experience would be helpful.
The hotel is currently operating under an exclusive use agreement with the Government therefore the operations may be slightly different to that of a typical hotel. The successful candidate will need to be 21 or above and have held a category B licence for at least 2 years.
Reasons to use Rodeo
I’m in my final year doing Economics and I don’t know whether to apply for grad schemes now or do a masters first. What do you think?
Honest answer — it depends on where you want to end up. A lot of top grad schemes (Big 4, civil service, banking) don’t need a masters. Let’s look at the ones you’d be competitive for now, and we can decide if a masters actually adds anything.
Also worth knowing: most autumn 2026 applications are open now. Timing matters more than you think.
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
