With big plans for the future, it’s a great time to join us – we’ve pledged to further reduce our carbon emissions significantly over the next decade. We’re often asked why it’s so great to work at Wightlink. Perhaps it’s because we offer: 33 days pro-rata annual leave. Clear and supported career progression. Concessionary ferry travel for you and your family. Discount on food & drink as well as exclusive discounts at a range of Island and Mainland businesses. Free parking. A chance to make a difference to the communities that depend on our lifeline service. Apply for this job
