You will patrol either North or South Kirklees, checking that vehicles are parked correctly in car parks and on street, and where necessary issuing Penalty Charge Notices (parking tickets).
Reasons to use Rodeo
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
Only hits
No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.
Full training will be given, with an initial 6-week induction period during which you will work alongside an experienced officer. When you have completed your training, you will be able to deal with a range of parking offences (we call them contraventions). You will also check the condition of parking machines and signs during your patrol, reporting any issues to your supervisor.
You will work a rotating shift pattern of 5 days out of 7, Monday to Sunday with start and finish times between 08:00 and 20:00. There may be some occasions where you will be required to work between the hours of 07:30 and 22:00. These shift patterns are currently under review. An additional allowance will be paid for shift working. There will sometimes be opportunities to work with the police and other partner agencies, either during the day or in the evening.
You will patrol mainly on foot in all weathers in and around town centre locations, sometimes driving a Council van or taking public transport to other locations.
You will be able to plan your own day and ensure parking regulations are being followed. You need to be able to demonstrate good communication skills and a calm approach when dealing with members of the public. A uniform is provided for working in all weathers including appropriate footwear and you will also be provided with appropriate Personal Protective Equipment. You may on occasion be deployed in plain clothes as part of our strategy to identify and tackle blue badge misuse.
