About Us
We're Green Flag, part of the Direct Line Group (DLG) and we've been helping motorists all over the country since 1971. We are an award-winning brand having recently been named the top breakdown cover provider in the Finder 2022 Customer Satisfaction Awards, independently voted for by consumers.
It's an exciting time for us that's why we're thrilled to grow our teams and looking for people to join as a Roadside Patrol.
What You'll Do
This is a permanent role ideally looking for people based in Luton, Leighton Buzzard, Letchworth, Stevenage, Hertford, Welwyn Garden City, St Albans, Aylesbury, High Wycombe, Amersham, Chesham, Watford, Potters Bar, Cheshunt
You will be contracted to work 40 hours, four days a week, starting on a shift pattern with operating hours between 7am and 8pm Monday to Sunday, with the opportunity to do overtime, you choose. We will provide you with a Green Flag vehicle and you will start your day from your home.
We know that our customer's vehicles make getting from A to B that much easier, whether that's to do the weekly shop, the school run or to get away on a staycation, it's all important, but sometimes our customers need us to get their vehicle back on the road and that's where you'll come in.
You'll put your technical knowledge to the test. Whether it be that they are out of fuel, require a tyre repair/change or a new battery, you will be ready and prepared to put their mind at rest and assist with a full kit on board to help them get back on the move. You will need to diagnose the problem and the understand the requirements to resolve it and give them the confidence to head off on their journey with no further interruptions from their vehicle.
We know you've heard this all before, but the culture here at Green Flag part of the Direct Line Group (DLG) really is something else. We embrace our individuality – you'll see it in the way that we think and work, it's all about ensuring you can enjoy making a contribution, have some fun and be yourself in every aspect. We encourage each other to be the best we can be, no opinion goes unheard, no achievement goes unrecognised, and no idea goes unknown – we even reward you for them!
We encourage our people to work together, aim higher and to be the best they can be – for customers, colleagues and the business. It's an indefinable "DLGness" that makes us who we are, and we'd love for you to be a part of it.
You will be part of a team of roadside patrol operatives in your region reporting to a Team manager
