Shunter Driver – Selhurst Depot - NIGHTS

Location: Selhurst | Salary: £35,942 (trainee) rising to £40,808 upon completion of training

Have you ever thought about a career in the railway?
Do you want a secure, rewarding role with genuine career progression?

Rail is a fantastic industry to work in — full of opportunity, variety, and purpose. At Govia Thameslink Railway (GTR), we're proud to connect communities every day, and we're looking for Shunter Drivers to join our team at Selhurst Depot.

This is an operational role that plays a vital part in keeping our trains moving safely and efficiently. You'll need great attention to detail, a calm approach under pressure, and clear communication skills, as radio use is constant and safety is at the heart of everything we do.

We welcome applications from people of all backgrounds and experiences — especially women and those from Black, Asian and Minority Ethnic (BAME) communities. You don't need previous railway experience — just enthusiasm, reliability, and a willingness to learn.

What We Offer

Final salary pension scheme
Free travel on GTR and sister train companies for you and your family
75% discount on other train operators for you and leisure travel for your family
Discounted Oyster Card
Enhanced family-friendly policies (maternity, paternity, adoption and shared parental leave)
Access to StarHub, our employee benefits platform, with discounts at hundreds of retailers

At GTR, we're committed to building a diverse, inclusive workplace where everyone feels welcomed, valued, and safe. We want our teams to reflect the communities we serve — because that's how we deliver our best work.

Apply today!
Please note: Applications may close early once capacity is reached. If you've applied for this role within the last six months, please do not re-apply.
