The team will work varying 10 hour shifts with 45 unpaid breaks.

The Travel Safe Officer role exists to provide a visible and proactive presence across the Bus Link in Gosport, during evenings and weekends. The officer’s core purpose is to deter and address antisocial behaviour (ASB), reassure passengers, and contribute to creating a safe, comfortable travel environment. This includes interacting with members of the public, supporting transport staff, and responding to reports of disorder or concerns raised by passengers.

Who is the person?
You need to be:
In order to gain CSAS accreditation, you will need to undergo and successfully pass police vetting. To be approved for vetting, candidates must have resided in the UK for at least three years prior to applying. This is because, without three years of UK residency, meaningful background checks cannot be carried out.
Due to the significant costs associated with obtaining CSAS accreditation, you may be required to sign a training agreement before undertaking the training. This agreement outlines the circumstances under which you may need to repay some or all of the training costs if you leave the role, out of choice within 24 months of completing the accreditation. The repayment structure is based on a staggered, pro‑rata system, depending on how soon after completing the training you give notice to leave.
