You will work an average of 37 hours per week, usually from Monday to Friday, although your weekly hours may occasionally vary to meet the needs of the service.
As part of your annualised hours contract, you will also be expected to work some weekends to help the service cover occasions such as Bank Holidays.
For the right candidate, there may also be the opportunity to work a 4-on/4-off shift pattern instead (working from either 03:30 - 14:00 or 14:00 - 01:00), with paid enhancements for working unsociable hours.
