Description
This qualification reflects the role of persons who are responsible for organising their own work within known routines. Work responsibilities are undertaken within regulatory and integrity services operations in racing; a high degree of confidentiality and discretion is required in job functions.
Employees with this qualification need to be confident about moving in close proximity to racing horses or greyhounds and to be able to identify safe and unsafe methods of handling by others, as well as recognising approved and non-approved racing gear and equipment and legal and illegal racing tactics.
Knowledge of the rules of racing, racing protocols, animal welfare and duty of care requirements is also considered essential. A range of well-developed skills involving judgement and problem solving with some theoretical knowledge is required.
