Description
This qualification reflects the role of employees who work under supervision in known routines but with a defined amount of responsibility and limited judgement. Work responsibilities cover the maintenance and repair of racing tracks, gardens and other facilities as well as the use of tools and machinery. The employee works under the direction of a supervisor but is also able to act autonomously in certain situations requiring solutions to a limited range of problems or working as part of a team.
Employees with this qualification may be required to handle greyhounds or horses in emergency situations and assist in marshalling prior to racing (depending on the individual's training plan).
