It is a public sector employer with access to powers and funding to unlock transport and housing improvements, boost skills provision and help the economy transition to net zero for York and North Yorkshire.

By working for us you will play a part in making positive changes, unlocking investment, supporting business and communities to thrive and creating new and better opportunities for people that live and work here.The York and North Yorkshire Combined Authority is seeking to appoint a Bus Services Manager. The postholder will exercise the Mayor’s wide-ranging powers over bus services in terms of the existing operating model and any future bus reform model that the Mayor may choose to pursue. The postholder will work closely with colleagues in City of York Council and North Yorkshire Council that are delivering various aspects of day-to-day bus services including supported bus services, bus stations, bus information, Park & Ride and concessionary travel. The postholder will collaborate with these teams to ensure that Mayor’s priorities for bus services are being delivered. In addition, the postholder will lead on the consideration of ways to improve bus services in York and North Yorkshire – by expanding the interventions included within our two Enhanced Partnerships and by considering the case for other bus service delivery models. The postholder will also work closely with the Transport Planning and Strategy Manager to produce a new single Bus Service Improvement Plan for York and North Yorkshire.
