About Network Rail
At Network Rail, our passengers and freight users are at the heart of everything we do. We help connect people to their friends and families and get goods to their destination safely and efficiently. We're an organisation where people matter.
Scotland's Railway is part of this large family, covering a large geographical area from the Borders to Thurso, accounting for almost 20 percent of the UK rail network. We provide rapid access along busy commuter routes to our seven cities, servicing the varied needs of our business and leisure commuter services, including cross-border and rural services. We have up to 50 freight services operating every day and we are steadily building capacity for this to grow. Our ambition to be responsive to passengers and freight users drives us every day and we're empowered to do the right thing for those who use the rail network. We actively challenge unsafe practices and take responsibility for addressing risks, resolving issues, and protecting safety and wellbeing.
Our colleagues are encouraged to work flexibly as we know that busy lives don't always fit around a traditional working pattern. If you need flexibility to complete your role, just let us know, and we will do our utmost to help you invest in your career with us while balancing other aspects of your life.
We're also a Disability Confident Leader employer and will try our best to adapt the process and offer a reasonable alternative to help support people with disabilities access, apply, and interview for roles.
