Many thanks. I am a northernerI cannot speak for Skipton but as a retired Northern driver who meets regularly with former colleagues, Leeds always seem to be recruiting. York is also recruiting at the moment.
Good Luck and welcome to Yorkshire.

Do you know the pay structure for qualifieds joining Northern?I applied when the last round of new driver jobs came up at Skipton (September last year). Currently on the new driver course based in Leeds. I haven’t spotted any qualified jobs for Northern recently, other than for Leeds depot.
SALARY: £23,576 per annum during training - approx. 12 months, Rising to £40,738 in Year 1, £44,952 in Year 2 and £54,500 in Year 3.Do you know the pay structure for qualifieds joining Northern?

Best bet is to apply for qualified driver at Leeds then put a transfer to Skipton in. A few are leaving Skipton shortly plus they need more for the supernumerary link too. Might be best to apply directly for Skipton and see what they say.Can anyone advise how easy it is to get a qualified drivers position at Skipton. I am looking at relocating from London. What other Yorkshire depots would be easy to get in?
