Patrol review - Roadside Technician RAC Employee Review

The roadside patrol role is an amazing opportunity to be apart of something special. Helping people at their time of need, whether that be enroute to holiday, work, appointments or simply when theyve nipped to do a spot of shopping. Being there to help is an amazing feeling. Its gives you the chance to meet some really good people that in a normal workshop job you wouldnt. And its not just the members, working with the staff within across all departments is a pleasure. Of course being happy at work is also about what you can earn as much as is it is about the people you work with. The earning potential in a patrol role has no limits, there is regular overtime if you want it and you dont have to work yourself into the ground to be comfortable.

You rota is issued 12 monthly so you know all your days off so can plan your life around it.
