Progression
Job security
According to the BBC, more than 25,000 company insolvencies were registered in 2023, the highest number since 1993, as firms struggled with rising costs and interest rates.
You might be looking for job security if you are currently out of work and we can give you that at driveJohnson’s.
driveJohnson’s coped very well during the COVID-19 pandemic, the current cost of living crisis, the 2007-2008 recession, and more. In fact, we have never made a staff member redundant since the company was formed in 2005.
In 2023, the company grew by over 100 instructors, so it’s time for us to expand our staffing again and look for someone special who wants to work with a very friendly and professional organisation.
Working Hours and Salary
40 Hours a week. Monday to Friday 9am to 5pm. This is a full-time office position; we do not offer hybrid working.
