Speke Hall is a distinctive black and white Tudor house situated on the banks of the River Mersey.

You’ll be driving a simple, local route with plenty of break time built into the timetable.
What you'll be doing
As our Tour driver, you will provide visitors from around the world with first class customer service. You’ll be responsible for transporting them to and from one of two pick up points and taking them to the childhood homes of Sir Paul McCartney & John Lennon where our tour guides will give them a fascinating insight into the birth of the Beatles.
Don’t worry about being a tour guide: your role is to safely drive the bus and to make our visitors feel welcome. It’s a fun role with lots of chances to chat to visitors from around the globe.
You’ll be responsible for daily checks and cleanliness of our tour bus each day, as well as some basic IT work such as printing passenger lists and simple reporting of passenger figures.
