Summary

Vacancy for Operations Manager – applications considered for full or part-time role

Bob the Bus is a highly respected local charity running a fleet of 4 minibuses. We operate scheduled services in and around Totnes from Monday to Saturday, and a monthly Travel Club. Almost all our drivers are volunteers. We also offer private hire (with driver) to local community groups. In 2025 we received the King’s Award for Voluntary Service.

We currently employ two part-time staff, but now require a manager to oversee the operation of our services. The role could be part-time (up to 20 hours) or full-time for the right candidate.

The ideal candidate would be able to take on both administrative and ‘hands-on’ duties, being responsible for the day-to-day availability and smooth operation of our small fleet of buses, and managing our group of over 30 volunteers. The role is very varied and sometimes ‘public facing’, dealing with enquiries from regulatory authorities, passengers and other members of the public. The manager will work closely with existing part-time staff.
