East Yorkshire is looking for new customer service advisors on the back of its £6m investment.

The part-time jobs, all based in Hull, include providing customers with travel and journey information, helping people track down lost items, and dealing with complaints on social media.

The roles come with plenty of perks, not least free bus travel for the successful candidates and their families.

It comes after the bus company, formerly known as EYMS, announced a £6m investment which will see new buses on the roads in the coming years, along with a striking new colour scheme.

The job description says: “Our customer service advisors benefit from the flexibility of part-time hours across a number of shift patterns.

“You’ll also enjoy all the same benefits as our full-time employees such as holiday pay, NEST pension, discounts and offers and free travel for you, your partner and up to two children when travelling with you.

“Our bus services will bring you right to our front door so there’s no need to have your own vehicle and no expensive parking fees to pay in the city centre - but there’s a car park at head office if you want to bring your car anyway!

“If you are in a face-to-face role, we’ll even provide you with a free uniform."

Successful candidates will be paid £8.21 per hour.

Further roles include processing monetary transactions, handling travel card enquiries and dealing with head office switchboard calls. Shifts required would be between 8am and 6pm, Monday to Saturday.

East Yorkshire announced last month it will add 13 new buses to its fleet later this year, with more on the way in 2020.

All the buses are being repainted into a new colour scheme focused on a yellow cream with a dark red rear. A new logo has also been unveiled, incorporating the famous Yorkshire white rose.

The plans are part of continued investment following the acquisition by the Go-Ahead Group last year, which has already included a £1m investment in new ticket machines which accept contactless payments.
