We're an organisation where people matter. We matter to millions.

About The Role
Your operational and people skills matter.
You'll help keep our passengers and station services moving. As a customer service assistant at London Euston, you'll enjoy variety and lots of activity in your role - this really is a job where no two days are the same.
Our passengers and station users' matter, and you'll be out there to provide a safe, secure and positive station experience. Most days you'll be covering significant distances across the station as you conduct security searches, monitor the station concourse, and help passengers during their station experience. You will spend most of the working day on your feet being highly visible to the customer. It's your training and attention to safety and security that help keep our station users safe every day.
You're able to build a good rapport with others, and your communications skills make all the difference with station users, retail staff and your station colleagues. And you'll always be thinking of a great customer experience as you provide help across the station.
The roles are full-time and involve shift working (days, nights, and weekends) and you'll be willing and able to work on a shift basis which means that you may be asked to cover a variety of shifts 365 days per year.
