Working Hours and Location

Right now, we’re focused on looking for people who can work night shifts. It’s not that we won’t consider those who can only work during the day, it’s just where our focus needs to be right now.

Night shifts run 8pm – 8am (12 hours) or 10pm – 8am (10 hours), depending on what works for you. We know it can be tough on your bodies to work during the night so we provide an additional salary enhancement for those who are up to the task.

Shift patterns are what you need them to be – we like to work on a fortnightly rota, with employees working alternate weekends, just to keep things fair for everybody, but we consider ALL circumstances. We’re aware that our employees have their own lives outside of their work and need to maintain a good balance for their own wellbeing.
