With over one hundred million passenger journeys each year, we carry people to over 275 stations in the Southwest, from Cornwall and South Wales to London, passing through beautiful country and some of the UK's top tourist destinations.

    We are transforming the way people think about train travel, empowering our team of over 6,000 people from diverse backgrounds to make it a great experience for our customers. Together, we will revalue rail as a very special way to travel, giving customers a warm welcome and outstanding service.

    What are the responsibilities?

    • To promote and sell GWR products onboard trains by engaging with customers to ensure they have the journey they deserve.
    • To offer a complimentary trolley service for customers travelling in first class
    • To sell refreshments to customers travelling in standard class
    • To be an ambassador for GWR, following our vision and values to provide the best customer service.
    • To adhere to all GWR safety principles, providing the safest possible journey for everyone
    • To maintain a clean, hygienic and pleasant environment

    Skills and experience required:

    • Customer service experience within a sales background
    • Cash handling experience
    • Excellent communication skills
    • The ability to work both alone and as part of a team
    • Food handling and stock rotation experience desirable

    What will I need?

    • A passion for providing the best customer experience
    • The ability to work a variety of shifts including weekends and bank holidays
    • To be proactive and able to use your initiative
    • To be friendly, cheerful, and approachable

    What is the reward?

    As well as a great team environment and comprehensive training, all GWR colleagues enjoy a range of benefits including defined benefit pension scheme, free rail travel across the GWR network for you and your family, company-sponsored health care plan, discounted shopping and gym membership and an employee assistance programme. Your uniform is provided.

    What else do I need to know?

    You must live within one hour's travelling time from the station.

    There are very early starts and late finishes, so you must be able to travel to and from the station at times when there is no public transport.

    Your initial salary will be £23,275 and this rises to £30,450 on completion of your probationary period. Additionally, you will receive a London Allowance of £3,265 a year.
