Northern is offering discounted rail travel to help jobseekers in northern England back to work. According to the Office of National Statistics, there are a record number of vacancies as the economy starts to re-build and companies kick-start their recruitment plans.

As part of a national scheme, rail operator Northern is offering discounted rail travel to jobseekers for up to three months to help them attend job interviews.

Those looking for jobs in the north can apply at their nearest Jobcentre Plus for a Jobcentre Plus Travel Discount card.

The card gives the holder 50% discount on anytime day tickets, off-peak day tickets, and season tickets, for up to three months.

Mark Powles, Commercial and Customer Director at Northern, said: “This is a small but valuable way in which we can make a positive impact for the North.

“We want to remove potential barriers for those wanting to get back into work. Helping our customers either get to and from a job interview or a place of work is a good way to achieve this.

“The past couple of years have been incredibly tough for many people and we want to play our part in helping them to get back on track and to give them the opportunity to go do their thing.

Northern has also teamed up with Nina Lockwood of Intuitive Interim & Executive Search to provide expert advice to help candidates stand out in today’s job market. Nina specialises in finding the right candidates for organisations across the UK rail sector. She provides advice on how candidates should choose the right roles, stand out from the crowd, shine in interviews, and hit the ground running once they get a job.

Nina said: “As the world opens up again, and people start to look at the opportunities out there in the marketplace to refocus their careers or simply to move into a different job, the support Northern is offering, via the discounted fares for interviews, is a great way to get people moving again.”
