Overview
Availability Window: Mon 05:30–14:30; Tue 05:30–14:30; Thu 14:00–23:00; Sat 14:00–23:00. Our Shift Leader rate of pay starts from £14.76 an hour; this increases to £15.97 for stores inside the M25. Additional payments may also apply depending on location. It is 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.
The table shows the periods of time in the week we’d like you to be available to work—the availability windows. 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; if the times you are available to work match closely but not exactly to the times we are advertising, we’d still love to hear from you.
