- Excellent communication skills
- The ability to work well with others as part of a team or on your own

- Stock control and ordering experience is desirable

**Working pattern?**
The Lead Customer Host role requires you to work shifts on a rota system, giving you plenty of notice in advance through a roster system. Shifts can start as early as 04:30 in the morning and finish as late as 01:30 at night. You will be required to work Sundays as part of your shift allocation on a 1 in 3 basis. Your working day will be a maximum of 10.5 hours and 12 hours rest will be given between allocated shifts.

**Additional important information**:
Equipment including a GWR mobile phone as well as full uniform is provided which you will have to wear to the uniform standard, including safety shoes.

Applicants must live within one hour's travelling time from the depot and must be able to get to and from work for early starts and late finishes without relying on public transport.

**The Reward?**
As well as a great team environment and comprehensive training, all GWR colleagues enjoy a range of benefits including on-going development, defined benefit pension scheme, free rail travel across the GWR network for you and your family, company-sponsored health care plan, discounted shopping and gym membership and an employee assistance programme.
