We asked some bailiffs what they loved about their job, and here are their responses:
\”The abilities you need as a bailiff is the ability to listen, to be a good communicator and you need a persuasive manner to explain that it\’s an order from the Courts that has to be carried out, whilst, showing great empathy for customers.
I do love this job, its only my 3rd job since I left school, I\’m 58, my first job I had for around 39 years, I probably haven\’t got another 39 left, but if I did, I\’d hope I\’m still a bailiff.\”
