Your Work‑Life Balance Matters
The service currently operates between 07:00 and 23:00, with shift patterns designed to support your well‑being: 07:00 to 19:30 and 10:30 to 23:00 (11.5‑hour shifts with a 1‑hour unpaid break). We ensure you won't be scheduled for consecutive late and early shifts. The service will be moved to a 24/7 model later in the year.
