Hi Darren,

You would need to apply for a Trainee Train Driver position and then should you be successful with your application by passing all of the recruitment stages, you would be offered a role and placed on a training course.

All of our current vacancies can be found at https://careers.firstgroup.co.uk/jobs/search.

If there are currently no Trainee Train Driver roles available (or any other roles that might be of interest to you), then at the bottom of that page there is also the option to register for job alerts. By doing this it will mean you'll be notified by email whenever a vacancy is advertised that matches your set criteria.
