I understand that there are three vacancies available.
£25000 (rising to £28900 when fully competent, ~9-12 months) + £3100 operational allowance.
The job is Derby-based but covers Penzance to Wick and everything in between, so there is a fair amount of lodging away required.
Closes 07/06/22

I must say for such shift work and skills, it seems very poorly paid.

The starting salary hasn’t increased since the 2000s..

They do over-egg the qualifications/skills somewhat in the advert. There’s only a handful on the trains who are HNC/HND/degree-qualified. The interview basically hinges on having good basic IT skills and being able to cope with the shifts/lodging.
