The role is a varied, challenging and interesting role, which will require flexibility and the ability to work very well within a team.

The working hours will typically be Saturday 8.00am to 5.30pm, Sunday 8.00am to 2.30pm, and weekdays 8.00am to 4.00pm, although these start/end times may vary from time to time depending on operational need - for example during exam periods or for holiday cover.
