Avanti West Coast is looking for new recruits with no experience for jobs paying up to £70k per year.
The train operating company is looking for people to join the team as train drivers and is offering wages reaching £70k within the first few years.
A total of 40 new train driving roles will be available in 2022 and the team is encouraging more women to consider the role.

Richard Morrow, Head of Drivers at Avanti West Coast added: “Train driving is a wonderful career, one that carries a lot of responsibility and job satisfaction.
"Whilst the application process is competitive, if you think you have what it takes, then we’d love to hear from you.”
Earlier this month, applications opened for the first ten new posts and more are due to be advertised in June for the North West and Midlands.
As a part of the recruitment process an online Train Driver question and answer session was held featuring newly qualified driver Hayley Richardson who talked about her experience.
Over 1,000 people signed up to hear the London based recruit, who spent ten years working for the Cambridgeshire Constabulary, qualifying as a Detective Constable, share details about her training and what it’s like to drive a train at 125mph.
She said: "I absolutely love being a train driver. I wanted to do something out of my comfort zone, and I would encourage anyone, especially women who are looking for a career change or have their hearts set on becoming a driver to put in an application."
Successful applicants will need to be over 20 years and six months of age when applying, live within an hour of their designated depot and meet the required medical standards.
Avanti West Coast has created a dedicated webpage offering helpful advice to those actively thinking about train driving as a career with the option to sign up for job alerts.
