Our residents come first, so we work around their needs. Your shift pattern will be confirmed at least six weeks in advance and may vary across a six‑week cycle
You’ll work within our operating hours of 8am–8pm, Monday to Friday, with occasional weekend work agreed in advance for busy periods or open days
