Job description

As a Rail Operator, you're vital when it comes to keeping our customers safe and informed. Whether it be dispatching, assisting passengers with boarding and alighting or providing information and direction during delay, you're always there for our customers when they need you most.


Who are you?

You are organised and efficient and able to cope with repetitive tasks under pressure at times. You love people, you are a great communicator and can talk to anyone and are passionate about doing the right thing – nothing is too much trouble. You provide the most up to date travel information for your customers with your ability to use technology. You must be alert and flexible in your approach to tasks and the day, or night, ahead and you have the confidence to make regular live announcements at your station.


Main things you'll deliver

You will be responsible for the safety of thousands of customers every day by making sure your station is always operated professionally.

You'll keep customers updated about their journeys by making announcements and in your face-to-face interactions and importantly bring your own personality along to make it a truly personal experience for our customers.

You'll work with train staff and other colleagues to do all you can to make sure trains leave your station safely on time, liaising with station and control colleagues as needed to ensure things go smoothly.

As your experience grows, you will become the font of all knowledge about not only the customer's SWR journey, but about key destinations, attractions, and London transport.

You will need to be flexible in your approach and not afraid to get stuck in with a variety of tasks as you are responsible for your station and making sure it meets the quality and safety standards our customers expect. Whether this be checking everything is working and safe, to clearing up rubbish, or providing a helping hand to a customer, you are the face of SWR and can make a difference to someone's day.


Working hours

Our customers need us all day, every day (except Christmas day) and as part of the stations team, you'll need to able to work shifts at all times of the day and on every day of the week.

On average you will work 20 hours a week over 5 days.

You will also need to be able to complete a number of assessments that make sure you are the right person for this varied yet demanding role in delivering great journeys for our customers.
