How the role works
These are casual, zero hours roles. There are no guaranteed hours and shifts are offered as and when required. Any average hours quoted reflect current trading and are a guide only.
Christmas availability
All new starters must be available to work throughout the Christmas and New Year period, including weekends and bank holidays. Existing team members have priority for time off over Christmas, so holiday requests from new starters cannot be accepted for that period.
