Life at Go North East

Perks and benefits 

All of our colleagues have access to these perks and benefits:

  • Free travel for you and your family – our staff passes are valid on all Go North East buses as well as other local bus operators, Tyne & Wear Metro and the Shields Ferry.
  • Catch our early morning and late-night shuttle buses for a hassle-free commute.
  • Access to our Employee Assistance Programme – which includes confidential face-to-face counselling, financial coaching and menopause support.
  • Shopping discounts via our Hapi app.
  • Join the Sport and Social club – pay a few pounds from your salary each week to get involved in free days out for you and your family.
  • We’re a Living Wage accredited employer – we're committed to paying you a fair wage for the work you do, exceeding the government’s minumum and reflecting the cost of living.
  • Plus, all of the benefits you’d expect to see from your employer – five weeks of annual leave, a pension scheme, sick pay and our Cycle to Work scheme.

There’s more to life at GNE than clocking in and collecting a pay check… 

If you feel like going the extra mile, there’s plenty to get involved in:

  • We take part in events around the North East, including family fun days, Pride and Freshers’ week at local universities.
  • We go all out with our staff awards – the Go.B.E. Awards are a night of glitz and glamour to celebrate our brilliant employees. Our annual Long Service Awards recognise our longest serving colleagues.
  • You’ll have access to Blink, our internal social media platform, keeping you connected to your team and informed about everything that’s going on at Go North East.
  • Sign up for one of our volunteer days at the Veterans at Ease charity shop.
  • Love the limelight? You’ll have the chance to join one of our photoshoots, from recruitment campaigns to getting papped with your four-legged companion for National Pet Day.
