Passenger Host - Welwyn Garden City (2517) Benefits

As a Passenger Host you are a key member of staff whose responsibility is to provide a high level of information to our customers as well as a feeling of safety, security and well-being whilst protecting the revenue of Govia Thameslink Railway. Your duties as a Passenger Host fall into three main categories - revenue protection, customer service and security. You will carry out your duties in a professional manner ensuring that customers are in possession of a valid ticket by undertaking station and on train ticket examinations at various locations and take the necessary action to deal with those individuals without valid tickets. You will be working alongside any contracted security officers, PCSO's, REO's or BTP at stations or on trains enhancing employee and customer safety. Passenger Hosts work on a shift-basis covering unsocial and irregular hours, including weekends. Due to the shift times you must live in the local area and have available independent transport to ensure that you arrive at the station for the first shift and work your last shift as required as there may not always be a train service available.
