🚆 We’re hiring – Travel Consultant

We’re looking for a friendly, reliable and customer-focused Travel Consultant to join our team at Bishop Auckland Railway Station.

This is a varied, hands-on role involving:

🎟️ Selling rail tickets and helping customers plan journeys
👋 Providing excellent customer service and travel information
🛍️ Supporting our retail operation
💷 Handling payments and balancing tills
✨ Helping keep the station clean, safe and welcoming

The role is initially 20 hours per week, working:

📅 Wednesday: 9:20am–4:20pm
📅 Friday: 6:20am–2:20pm
📅 Saturday: 8:20am–1:20pm

Following successful completion of training and probation, there may be an opportunity for the role to become full-time.

Previous railway or ticketing experience would be helpful but isn’t essential, as full training will be provided. We’re much more interested in finding someone who enjoys helping people, communicates confidently and takes genuine pride in delivering excellent service.

And as Holdham grows, we want this role to grow too.
