We’re looking for a Talent Acquisition & Operational Training Coordinator to join our People team and play an important role in supporting recruitment and operational training across Stagecoach. It’s a varied role. One day you could be helping an Operating Company recruit for a hard-to-fill role, the next coordinating Driver CPC training, supporting an Apprentice recruitment campaign or helping create opportunities for young people who are not currently in education, employment or training (NEET).

What you’ll be doing

You’ll get involved in a broad mix of recruitment and training activity, including:

  • Supporting the end-to-end recruitment journey, helping us deliver a great experience for candidates and hiring managers.
  • Working with our Operating Companies and Central Functions to understand their recruitment needs and provide support, guidance and coordination.
  • Using Workday Recruiting and Paradox AI to manage vacancies, candidates and recruitment activity.
  • Directly sourcing candidates for priority, specialist and hard-to-fill roles and helping us build future talent pipelines.
  • Working with our recruitment media partner to make sure we’re using the right attraction channels and getting the most from our recruitment campaigns.
  • Supporting Apprentice and NEET recruitment, helping us create accessible routes into employment and opportunities for people at the beginning of their careers.
  • Coordinating Driver CPC and Operational Driver Training, including training schedules, bookings, attendance and communications.
  • Working closely with trainers, operational teams, managers and colleagues to keep everything running smoothly.
  • Looking for ways we can continually improve our recruitment processes, systems and candidate and hiring manager experience.

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.
