Why LNER?
We go beyond. For everyone. Our vision is to be the most loved, progressive and responsible way to travel for generations to come. Now we're looking for the people who can deliver this, every day.
Since we took over on the East Coast mainline, we've been changing the face of rail travel. Our new Azuma train has brought faster journey times, more space and greater reliability. Our exciting plans to embrace new ideas, experiences, backgrounds and ambitions make this the ideal time to join.
Bringing passion. Being bold. Always caring. Owning it. They're the values that make us LNER.

What do our Station Customer Service Assistants do?
By joining LNER as a Station Customer Service Assistant, you will be the first or last point of contact on a customer's journey, providing a warm and welcoming hello, or wishing them well as they leave the station.
You'll need to provide great service while being responsible for the safe and punctual dispatch of trains. Full training will be provided, but to be successful, you'll need to be comfortable working in an operational environment and be able to prioritise effectively. You'll need focus and attention to detail to spot any potential hazards.
Along with dispatching trains, you will help our customers on and off the train; assisting people in wheelchairs and helping holiday makers with their suitcases, providing a memorable experience for all our customers.
Communication is key in this role; you could be centre stage with our customers, liaising with your fellow dispatchers, or acting as the voice of the station, making announcements on the public address system.
What do we need you to have?
* Plenty of customer service experience and strong interpersonal skills, with a good track record of providing customers with a personalised and memorable service.
* A genuine passion for helping customers, with the ability to communicate effectively through tough situations and relish the challenge of disruption.
* The ability to work safely with experience of working to rules and regulations, balancing great customer service within set guidelines.
* Flexibility to assist our customers early in the morning, late in the evening, and over weekends, as our Station Customer Service Assistants are needed for shifts.
* As part of the interview process, you will need to pass some industry-standard psychometric testing and a safety-critical medical.
What you'll get:
* Free travel on LNER + 75% off other companies' tickets (for you & dependents)
* Discounted international train tickets (after one year's service)
* 50% discount on LNER tickets for friends & family
* Generous pension scheme
* Annual cycle to work schemes/electric vehicle scheme
* Discount, savings, and cashback scheme from top retailers
* Health & wellbeing schemes and discounts
* Host of training opportunities to help further your career
* Rewards & awards to recognise when you shine
