You must have the ability to deal with members of the public in a positive and friendly, but firm manner and be able to deal with sensitive situations including conflict and aggression. You must be physically fit and willing to patrol on foot and on an e-bike and be capable of working long shifts, outdoors and in all weather conditions. You must also have a full clean driving licence. A qualification at diploma level in countryside management or a discipline related to the post is desirable, as is a current first aid certificate.
