The standard working week is 45 hours, Monday to Friday.

Shift pattern:
Monday to Friday, 07:30 \- 17:00 or 08:00\-17:30

There will be the occasional Saturday required, only where the workload dictates it, and you will be included in an on\-call rota once every 3 weeks.

When on call, you will receive a weekly on\-call payment.
