I am an international student on a student visa. Are there any part-time positions available? What are the requirements?

Hi Anarghya,

All of our current opportunities, including any part-time positions, can be found on the job search page of our careers site - https://careers.firstgroup.co.uk/jobs/search

Any minimum requirements will vary by role and these will be defined in the individual job adverts.

Do you provide sponsorship for the trainee train driver role if the person is already in UK and currently having rights to work but the visa will be expiring soon.

Good morning,

Sponsorship would usually only be possible for roles that require specialist skills or expertise that may not be readily available in the local labour market. Unfortunately, the role of trainee train driver would not fall into this category and so sponsorship would be unlikely.

If someone like me having 10 years of experience as train driver in Diesel electric locomotive got selected for the trainee train driver role. As I am not having European train driver licence, but I served as Goods Train driver in India having experience of almost all type of diesel electric locomotive used in Indian Railways. Now I am in Uk. Could I be considered for sponsorship in future, currently I have right to work in UK.

Whilst you hold the right to work in the UK, employment would be possible with us should you be successful in an application. However, should this expire you would need to provide evidence of your continued right to work, without relying on any sponsorship from the company. I should add that any scenarios like this would be dealt with on a case-by-case basis.

Thankyou Alex for the information
