You must be approachable, genuinely enjoy interacting with a diverse range of people treating each person with dignity, respect and fairness and able to develop appropriate and productive relationships.

The role can involve walking considerable distances as well as standing for long periods of time, sometimes in inclement weather.

Experience of safety and security and the ability to deliver exacting standards of customer service are essential.

Hours of work are 40 per working period, working 5 days on, 5 days off. Full uniform is provided.

Rate of pay: £18,386 per annum pro rata (£26,313 FTE) plus additional benefits which include:
