Stagecoach Yorkshire is expanding its workforce across Chesterfield and the broader region as the UK grapples with a rising unemployment rate and growing economic inactivity.
Recent figures from the Office for National Statistics show unemployment for those aged 16 to 64 reached 4.5% between January and March, while 21.4% of working-age adults were considered economically inactive. Against this backdrop, Stagecoach, one of the area’s largest transport employers, is actively recruiting drivers, engineers, and support staff.
The operator is offering roles with structured training and apprenticeships, aiming to attract both experienced professionals and those new to the sector. Positions come with benefits including competitive pay, life assurance, retail discounts, and free bus travel.
This recruitment drive reflects Stagecoach’s continued growth in regional transport services, positioning the company as a stable employer at a time when many businesses face staffing uncertainty.
