Looking for something?

Whether you are a future train driver, a highly qualified engineer, a creative marketing graduate, a cleaner with amazing attention to detail, or a school leaver with a passion for customer service, we need your skills and enthusiasm to help us provide the best possible service to our passengers. In return, we promise to give our people the best possible job opportunities to flourish as individuals and to develop their skills and careers.

Being such a major train operating company means that we offer a huge variety of exceptionally rewarding job opportunities. But don’t worry – we understand that not everyone has years of expertise and experience in a specific field. This is why many of our roles come with full training, so you can kickstart your career with Northern, whatever your talents, experience, or background may be.
