Do trainee roles come out a lot? Or are they rare?

They are hit and miss. You have to keep your eyes peeled as alot of them dont advertise for very long.

I believe SWR have the record for the shortest time span a vacancy is advertised.

Northern advertised trainee drivers last year and a couple of vacancies were pulled within 24 hours.

SWR have pulled vacancies within just 5 or 6 hours. I suspect that maybe they get a lot of applicants who are registered for spoiler alerts when a new vacancy goes live and they get an application in ASAP. HR may then decide to remove the vacancy after recieving the first 20 or 30 applicants which can be in the first 5 or 6 hours!!!

Sounds possible yeh. Makes sense too, I have alerts on most companies ads for trainee roles however I was in bed by the time I seen this and thought I’d get my application in this morning.

I also read a lot of TOC’s have to advertise externally for roles as well as internally so will do so but only for a tiny amount of time as really they’d prefer to fill the role internally, maybe it’s that too. Oh well, on to the next one!
