- Deliver an outstanding experience for customers by proactively providing ticketing, travel and journey solutions.
- Actively resolve complaints
- Support the Bus Station Manager by reviewing the impact any actions will have on the customer experience at Bus Stations
- Drive the use and uptake of digital solutions by coaching customers on using digital services
- Support the Bus Station Supervisor and Bus Station Manager to ensure the ‘Swift vending machine’ is functional and working
- Work closely with operational colleagues to report and monitor incidents of anti-social behaviour, unsatisfactory state of facilities/assets or unsafe actions of bus drivers, contractors or customers.

**About you.**
- Experience of delivering exceptional service in a busy customer service environment
- Strong communication and interpersonal skills and the ability to work well under pressure.
- Able to use technology i.e tablet devices and electronic ticketing terminals.
- A good working knowledge of the geography and public transport network of the West Midlands and tourist attractions and other places of interest
- Proficiency in Microsoft Excel, Word, Outlook and Internet Explorer
- Good organisational skills with the ability to follow instructions.
- Cultural sensitivity and empathy, with an ability to identify and serve the needs of a range of customers from different backgrounds and experience of helping people with mobility and other impairments, challenges, and requirements.

**How to apply.**

Applicants will need to evidence that they have the legal right to work in the UK. If we make an offer of employment, we will need to check that you are eligible to work in the UK before you start work.

We aim to achieve this vision by living our values, which include being a partnership organisation, valuing and respecting our people, fostering a can-do attitude, and encouraging innovation.
