The availability window describes the periods of time in the week you are expected to be available to work. Availability is as follows: Sun 14:00–23:00; Mon 14:00–23:00; Wed 14:00–23:00; Sat 07:00–18:00. We will schedule your contracted hours within these times, and you’ll have 3 weeks’ notice of exactly when your shifts will be. We are happy to support flexibility for colleagues, therefore if the times you are available to work match closely but not exactly to the times advertised, we’d still love to hear from you.

It’s our policy to offer new colleagues a minimum of 16 guaranteed hours each week, but if you’d like to work fewer hours (to a minimum of 12) we have opportunities for this too and would still love to hear from you.
