Hours available:
* 18 to 36 hours per week (2 to 4 night shifts)
* There is the opportunity to work additional hours on occasions in relation to holidays and sickness
* Opportunities to increase the number of shifts in the future
What’s Required:
* Being able to carry out a waking shift, staying fully alert and vigilant
* Flexibility in working hours is essential to cover other team members
* Weekend work will be required
* Some shifts over public holidays (eg. Christmas) will be required. This will be shared with other team members
