WEEKEND DAYTIME SHIFT ONLY
**Due to the location of our estate (KT2 7HN), we are only accepting applications from South West London and North Surrey**
A Gatekeeper (Security Guard) is needed every Saturday and Sunday to operate electronic and manual barriers and identify authorised vehicles entering the Coombe Estate, and turning away unauthorised vehicles (those without a permit or legitimate business on the Estate).
The Malden and Coombe Residents’ Association (MCRA), representing the Estate, employs five gatekeepers and is undertaking the recruitment of a new gatekeeper to guard the entrance and exit points at Coombe Lane West and Kingston Hill.
The Gatekeeper will single-handedly cover five hours, from eg 9am - 2pm or 10am - 3pm (can be negotiated). There are also opportunities to work in partnership shifts with other team members. Based at the main barriers on Warren Road, (and may also be required to work at the Kingston Hill barriers on George Road) the post holder will join a friendly team of four Gatekeepers line managed by a Director of the MCRA Committee.
The private Coombe Estate is blighted by rat-running traffic cutting through from Coombe Lane West to Kingston Hill. A survey carried out by The Royal Borough of Kingston a few years ago indicated that at least around 40% of the traffic using the Estate was unauthorised and an estimation today would suggest this figure has risen substantially since then.
In an effort to alleviate the issue, the Estate currently operates an electric two-arm barrier at the Coombe Lane West entrance of Warren Road, and manual barriers at the entrances at George Road and Kingston Hill – all of which are manned on a part-time basis.
Due to the location of the post, only local applications will be reviewed.
