There are no bus driver jobs in the Army specifically, but you can gain your minibus and coach licences to assist unit transport for exercises, adventurous training, cohesion days, etc.
Nobody can guarantee that you'll get a job driving buses specifically, it will depend on the demands of your unit and course availability, but for your best chance, you should look at a job with the RLC as a Driver.
You'll become an expert in transport: gaining a transport apprenticeship while being responsible for maintaining and driving vehicles, both military and civilian.
If you're keen to expand your driving ability, you could then transfer to become a Driver Vehicle Support Specialist, driving a wide range of vehicles to support movements around the world.
You may also be interested in the Driver Communication Specialist role, where you're trained as a Driver, but also become an expert in communications and information systems. Driver Communication Specialists currently offer a £10k golden hello on completion of training.
As with most roles, you'll most likely be based in the UK, but will deploy overseas on exercises, operations, sports, and adventurous training.
