- A positive, team‑focused attitude

- Up to £15.40 per hour
- £23.10 per hour on Saturdays
- £30.80 per hour on Sundays
- 36‑hour contract (overtime paid at time and a half)
- Enhanced pay before 08:00 and after 20:00
- Time and a half on Saturdays, double time on Sundays
- Rotational weekends
- Set shifts: 07:00-15:00 or 13:00-21:00 , Monday-Sunday
- Full‑time, stable contract
- Excellent pension scheme
- Real opportunities for development and progression
