NORTHERN is looking to recruit train drivers across the region, with a potential salary of £53,000 a year on offer for those who make the grade.
No previous train driving experience is needed as full training is offered as part of the role.
In what they describe as an ‘intense course’, willingness to learn is needed both during working hours and at home.
The Driver Training Programme includes modules on rules and regulations, route learning, fire safety, traction training and track safety.
In a Facebook post, Northern said: “As a TRAIN Driver it’s your responsibility to ensure our customers reach their destination in a safe manner and on time. Our drivers work hard to maintain high levels of route and train knowledge to ensure that safety is kept at the forefront of our operations.”
Drivers start on a salary of £23,326 while in training.
