At each election we have polling stations based all over the city and our polling staff are responsible for making sure everyone who is entitled to vote is able to.
We need experienced and new staff to work in these polling stations, all day on election day. Staff are needed from around 6.30am - 10.30pm as they are required to be on shift during the whole of polling day.
Working in a polling station is not subject to the European Working Time Directive and due to this there is no guaranteed breaks during the day, and staff are not permitted to leave the station during the day. Staff are required to bring food and drink for the duration of their shift.
