- access to a paid Level 2 apprenticeship in customer service

- season ticket loans, retail discounts, an Employee Assistance Programme and a Cycle to Work scheme

The frequency of night shifts will vary for each Establishment and can be discussed at interview. For an example of the shift times that you could be working please visit our website
