A long-established Knowsley business is celebrating continued growth while creating new job opportunities for local residents.

Huyton Travel Ltd, a trusted name in community transport for over 40 years, has recently secured additional contracts as part of the Liverpool City Region’s new bus franchising programme. The expansion will see the company operating more school and college routes across Knowsley, Liverpool, Sefton, St Helens and the Wirral, helping thousands of young people travel safely to education every day.

This milestone not only reflects the company’s strong reputation for reliable and caring service, but also brings exciting opportunities for people in the local area looking for flexible, meaningful work.

Supporting Communities – On and Off the Road
Huyton Travel has always been rooted in the communities it serves, with a focus on providing safe, dependable transport for local families. With the award of these new contracts, the company is continuing that legacy while investing in its future workforce.

As part of this growth, Huyton Travel is currently recruiting part-time School Bus Drivers to join its friendly and supportive team.

The role offers more than just driving. It gives individuals the chance to play an important part in the daily lives of young people—supporting their journey to school and becoming a familiar, trusted presence within the community.

Flexible Work to Fit Around Modern Lives
The structure of school transport makes these roles particularly attractive to those seeking part-time or flexible employment. Working hours typically include morning and afternoon school runs, with optional additional work available between these times.

With no requirement to work during school holidays, the roles are ideally suited to parents and carers, people returning to work, semi-retired individuals, and anyone looking for reliable, part-time daytime hours.

Huyton Travel is also encouraging applications from those new to the sector, with full training and ongoing support provided—meaning previous bus driving experience is not essential.

A Positive Place to Work
As a well-established local employer, Huyton Travel offers job security through long-term franchised contracts, alongside a welcoming team environment and a strong sense of purpose. Drivers are at the heart of the business, helping deliver services that genuinely make a difference to people’s daily lives.

With competitive pay, structured hours and the chance to stay connected to the local community, the company believes there has never been a better time to come on board.

Looking Ahead
With its continued growth and commitment to local values, Huyton Travel is playing an important role in shaping the future of transport across the Liverpool City Region—while opening doors for local people to be part of that journey.

For those considering a new opportunity, it could be the perfect time to take a seat behind the wheel.
