Hello there,

Thank you for your enquiry and apologies for the delayed response.

If you're referring to an customer facing role i.e. working within one of our stations or onboard a train, then due to the nature of these roles, all of the work patterns are designed around the operational requirements of the business and normally assigned to employees on a rotational basis.

If it is predominantly weekend work that you're after, then you would be best to apply for one of our part-time roles that specifically state the shifts as being weekends. Our most common role that offers this is that of a Customer Host with GWR, but unfortunately we don't have any current opportunities being advertised. I would suggest visiting our careers site and registering for job alerts, ensuring that you set part-time as one of the criteria.
