As Doncaster is a 24-hour restaurant, there may be occasional overnight (dawn) shifts where support is needed, so flexibility in this area is appreciated.

Hours and rosters vary each week depending on FT-PT roles at The Pancake Parlour, with shifts typically 7-8 hours long which includes evenings, late night shifts (e.g. 5pm -12:30/1am) so applicants must genuinely be able to work these hours.
