Network Rail is at the heart of revitalising Britain's railway. We're making rail safer, more reliable and more efficient than ever before. We do it all for our customers. That means everyone from commuters to train and freight operating companies. Passionate about great service, we take care to understand their needs, listen to their comments, and fulfil all our promises. Together, we're making a railway fit for the future. And as the network continues to grow, you'll grow along with us.
As part of our commitment to running the railway smoothly day-to-day, we take great care of our customers. Whether it's looking after travellers at stations, or managing our business relationships with train operators and commercial stakeholders, we're dedicated to world-class customer service. After all, it's crucial to building a railway for the twenty first century.
Brief Description
We'll rely on you to make sure everyone who uses one of our 18 major stations has the best possible experience. It's a diverse role for someone with a true passion for customer service.
This role will predominantly be based within customer reception.
About the role (External)
You'll play a key role in the smooth day to day running of this busy train station.

Customers will look to you for accurate and timely information about services. Working closely with our partners, the Train Operating Companies (TOCs), we'll expect you to ensure trains depart the city's largest and busiest stations safely and on time.

Even when customers might be frustrated due to delays or disruption, you'll continue to provide excellent customer service. Whatever the weather, whatever your shift, your enthusiasm will shine brightly. And because stations are a fast-paced environment, you'll relish the challenge of thinking on your feet.
