- Salary:£32,911 along with excellent benefits
- Location:Rail Operations Centre (ROC Three Bridges)
- Contract Type:Permanent
- Closing Date:27 February 2026
GTR are recruiting Customer Ambassadors for the Rail Operating Centre based out of Three Bridges.
This is a great opportunity for an individual with a proven track record to work for one of the country's busiest and award-winning rail companies.
THIS IS AN EXPRESSION OF INTEREST FOR FUTURE ROLES.
Purpose of role:
You will play a key role in maintaining up-to-date customer information on journey planners and station displays (visual and audio) by providing essential service and engineering information directly from the control centre; this is a non-customer facing role.
In addition, you will serve as the voice of the customer, working closely with Train Service Managers and other teams to ensure service adjustments are implemented accurately and promptly. Whether engaging with internal teams or communicating with external customers, your priority will be to deliver outstanding customer service through clear, consistent, and reliable information.
Your day-to-day duties will also include updating station and on-board facilities information, reporting and tracking faulty information supply equipment, supporting station colleagues with customer queries and dealing with station Emergency Help Point calls.
Key Success Criteria
- Deliver timely, accurate, and professional customer information across trains, stations and external platforms, ensuring it aligns with GTR's values through effective use of available systems.
- Proactively seek the best solutions for customers during times of need, such as organising rail replacement buses and alternative transport, resolving queries and prioritising customer welfare during challenging situations.
- Utilise data, evidence and customer plans when working with station teams to safeguard customer interests and ensure a positive experience.
- Keep the customer at the centre of all real-time decision-making, ensuring their needs are the priority in every action taken.
- Utilise standards, protocols, and systems effectively, always underpinned by a mindset of 'thinking about the customer' to ensure the right choices are made.
- Ensure the accurate, real-time delivery of the Passenger Information During Disruption process.
- Strong IT skills, attention to detail and the ability to work across multiple systems are essential to ensure accuracy and efficiency in these responsibilities.
- Excellent communication skills – clear, professional, and empathetic, both written and spoken.
- Proactive problem-solving skills with a calm and solution-focused approach under pressure.
- High attention to detail and accuracy in delivering time-sensitive information.
- Friendly, approachable, and customer-focused with a personal style aligned to GTR's values and vision.
- Experience working in a high-pressure or time-critical environment, where decision-making impacts customer satisfaction directly.
- Previous railway or transport sector experience is highly desirable.
- Strong track record of working collaboratively in a team, with evidence of results and contribution to shared goals.

Testimonials
What our staff say
“I work as part of the Fleet Infrastructure team, which means ensuring our 18 Engineering locations operate safely and efficiently. We oversee all building and track maintenance works as well as various minor and major projects across the network.”
Hannah Richards
Fleet Infrastructure Administrator
“I started in a small ticket office back in 1996 and have continued to work my way up ever since. A previous manager told me about a job he’d seen advertised for a trainer. ’d never considered a job in HR or mentoring before then, but he said I’d be perfect for it and I haven’t looked back since!”
Zoey Hudson
Head of Talent, Diversity and Inclusion
“Since April, I’ve helped to support our Kickstart Scheme. It’s been a really rewarding process to be part of because I know first-hand how tough it can be to find work once you’re out of it.”
Jack Gow
Mobile Station Manager
“I love the freedom that comes with being a train driver. Obviously, there are rules and regulations to follow as well as duties and commitments to carry out, but in a way, you’re sort of your own boss, which is nice.”
Ashley John
Train Driver
“I’m a Thameslink passenger host and team leader based at Luton station and I’m currently doing a Level 3 Supervisor apprenticeship so that I can improve my skills even further. I was hesitant to do the apprenticeship at first because of my age – I left school over 60 years ago without any qualifications! It’s been hard to get back into the routine of learning again.”
Bob Bryce
Passenger Host Team Leader
“It was my brother’s suggestion to join the railway. He was already working in the industry and knew I had some university bills to pay off so told me to give it a go, get out of debt and see what I wanted to do next. After a while, it just felt like actually – this is exactly where I’m meant to be. I’m part of a great team and the on-board department as a whole are brilliant to work with. I feel at home here.”
Tonderai Matizha-Johnson
Area Operations Manager
“When I saw that GTR was advertising places for its apprenticeship scheme I looked into it straight away because I thought it was a great opportunity to learn whilst getting real life experience in a 9-5 job. I applied for a level three business administration apprenticeship and was thrilled to find out I had a place on the course! I was so excited that I didn’t even mind it was based 250 miles away from where I lived.”
Harriet Dee
Team Administrator
“Working for GTR is very rewarding and fulfilling. You really feel like you're making a difference to customers, no matter what role you're in as at the end of the day they're the heart of our business. I’ve had lots of opportunities to explore other aspects of the business including supporting our station staff and gaining my Train Dispatch Licence which has been enriching for my experience here.”
Maggie Luckhurst
Platform / Train Dispatch
“If you’ve always had an interest in rail, or maybe you’re just curious to find out what working in the railway might look like, GTR is the operator to go for. Not many companies do an official work experience program and this unique opportunity will give you a good grounding with varied activities to help you find the best place in the railway for you. It certainly did it for me.”
Nathaniel Owen
Station Manager
