To be visible to our customers, providing information and help in a friendly and reassuring way.

To ensure a safe, clean, and pleasant environment is maintained.

Are you passionate and proactive about delivering outstanding customer service?
Are you determined to always perform well and be proud to portray a professional image?
Can you be flexible in your working with the ability to work a variety of shifts including weekends and bank holidays?
Would you be comfortable with working in a strictly regulated industry with many rules and procedures?
Are you able to stay cool, calm, and collected when things don’t go to plan?

 

What do I need?

An understanding of customers’ needs.
Excellent communication skills.
The ability to build relationships and work as part of a team.
Experience of front-line customer service.
The confidence to manage challenging situations.

 

Where is the job?

The position is based in our depot at Fratton, just a short walk from the station. This is where you will start and end your shifts.

 

What else do I need to know?

This job is being advertised to fill existing vacancies and to create a talent pool ready to fill predicted future vacancies.

The shifts include early starts and late finishes as well as weekends and bank holidays. You will be working an average of 35 hours a week. Starting and finishing times may be at times when public transport is not available so you must be able to get to and from the station without relying on this. You must live within 60 minutes travelling time of the depot. You need to be 18 or older to apply for this position.

 

The basic rate of pay during your training is £25,501 and this rises to a basic rate of £37,251 once you are productive.

 

We value our differences such as age, gender, LGBTQIA, ethnicity, religion and disability. We maintain zero tolerance towards any form of prejudice towards our colleagues, customers, and future talent.

We celebrate and encourage diversity of thought, progressive ways of working and seeing all our colleagues grow and thrive.

We review all roles and job descriptions to ensure they are accessible and, where possible, we support and provide flexible working options; we recommend that you refer to each vacancy description for further details.
