Paid and Voluntary Opportunities

The A1 Steam Locomotive Trust is an organisation like no other. From its inception, we have encouraged volunteers to do for the Trust what they do for a living, instilling an air of professionalism across the charity. The Board of Trustees are all volunteers, dedicating their time to the smooth running of this multifaceted business, from fundraising to engineering and operating trains on the main line.

As the Trust's ambitions and scale continues to grow we require, on occassion, to hire paid staff to support the administrative and engineering functions. 

Current paid and voluntary opportunities are listed below. To apply, please submit a CV and covering letter to recruitment@a1steam.com.
