The Role

An exciting opportunity has arisen for talented customer service professionals to join our team as a Senior Conductor, for one of our locations across the Midlands and Northwestern London Lines. As a Trainee Senior Conductor, you will play a key role in the safe and smooth running of our service, assisting passengers with any enquiries or problems, checking and issuing tickets, and ensuring the safety of the crew and customers.

With experience of cash-handling in a customer service or retail environment, you’ll be friendly and approachable, with first-class communication skills and the ability to remain calm in all situations. You must be willing to work on a shift basis Monday to Saturday, with Sunday shifts as agreed, and your own transport would be advisable due to shift start and end times.

If successful, you will then undertake a face to face interview with a Conductor Manager and then be required to attend a medical assessment. Once you have passed all stages of the process, you will remain on our talent pool until a place on a training course becomes available.
