- You will support the organisation's vision and purpose by living GWR's values at all times and you are responsible for constantly developing your leadership and management competence in line with published frameworks. You will comply with all HR policies relevant to your role.
- You will lead, motivate, develop and engage colleagues through effective people management and communication practices. You will promote a culture of learning, innovation and accountability and will communicate GWR's vision and purpose to colleagues in an appropriate way to ensure everyone is working towards a common end point and understands how they contribute to the success of GWR.
- Security is about our passengers feeling safe when they travel, our colleagues feeling secure while at work and our business assets being protected. You will comply with all security procedures and local instructions and if you see something suspicious you must report it.
- You will liaise with the Franchise Compliance Manager to identify specific Franchise Compliance issues relating to locations, facilities and processes under your control and ensure their delivery.
