Flexible Working Options

Our client understands that flexibility means something different for everyone and is committed to tailoring rosters wherever possible. Available options include:

• Full-time or part-time employment
• Eight-day fortnights
• Regular daytime shifts
• Shorter evening shifts (up to six hours)
• Weekend-only opportunities
