Working pattern

This is a part time position with a contract of 5 hours per week. Please note that this is a temporary contract to cover the Christmas period over the month of December. You must be available to work at least one weekend day a week.

As part of your contract, we ask for availability that is, as a minimum, one and a half times your weekly hours. For example, if you were on a 10-hour contract, we would ask for 15 hours of availability. This doesn't mean you will work 15 hours (unless there is overtime available, and this may be offered to you) but your shifts may be placed anywhere within the availability you provide. This helps us build fair, consistent rotas, and ensures we can meet customer demand across the week. With this role being in Retail, you must also be available to work one late night and one weekend day per week.

You will have at least 2 weeks' notice of when your shifts will be. If you can't exactly match the hours and days we are looking for, this can be discussed. We are always happy to hear from you.
