- Utilising the SWR Online Community to enter into conversation with our customers.
- Assisting other members of the Control Centre by facilitating communication with customers and other members of staff.
- Sending passenger assistance requests to the relevant parties.

- A good level of general education
- Ability to prioritise tasks in a high pressure, fast moving environment.
- IT literate with the ability to learn new systems.
- Knowledge of railway terminology advantageous.
