About the role

As the Station Assistant, you are integral to the success of V/Line’s Customer Group.

You work alongside the Services Officer and Services Manager to manage the facilities and provide customer service at the station.

The Station Assistant's primary responsibility is to provide exceptional customer service and assist passengers throughout their journey. This includes making announcements and providing assistance with bus replacements. You work as part of a cohesive station team, and their ultimate responsibility is to ensure the safety of all customers. The Station Assistant is also responsible for maintaining the cleanliness and presentation of staff and customer facilities at the station.

The Station Assistant at Deer Park is a part-time position, with 40 hours per fortnight guaranteed. You will be required to work on a 4-week rotating roster, which includes early starts (4:30 AM), late finishes (2 AM), weekends, and public holidays. There are also additional opportunities to pick up extra hours.
