Dartford: Mother lands dream train driver job after 10-year break

She was able to pursue a new career through Southern Rail and the Career Returners scheme, which is a coaching and consulting programme targeted at people who have been on an extended career break and looking to get back to work.

Ms Santamaria said her daughter was very vulnerable and would likely live with her for the rest of her life.

“It felt right to pause my career and focus all my energy on her,” she said.

“While I was caring for my daughter, I studied accountancy and qualified in 2021, but after months of job applications I still hadn’t secured a job.”

She then began searching for other careers and applied to be a trainee train driver in 2023 after spotting an advert on social media.

“It sounded perfect for the position I was in, so I applied for the role and the rest is history,” she added.
