Job description
Due to a peak in applications, we are looking for a 12 month, fixed term Train Driver Licensing Administrator. You will have an important role in helping to keep the railways working across Great Britain. You will directly contribute to the licensing of train drivers, which in turn affects services and the travelling public.

Your excellent skills in paying attention to detail and accuracy will be vitally important. We keep records on a computer database. You will work closely with train operating companies who give us the information about their drivers.
Working in a small team, there will be other opportunities to gain experience in the work we do in the civil service, and within a regulator.
