Working hours are 40hrs per week, however due to my clients infrastructure, there is a certain amount of flexibility with shifts starting at 7am and ending at 5pm, with 8-2 on Fridays. There is also an option to either start at 7, 8 or potentially even 9 (but would need to finish at 6 in order to complete the 40 hour working week)
