  • Work variable hours, including weekends and holidays, as per departmental scheduling (unless otherwise specified in the shift agreement) with adequate notice.
  • Physically handle equipment daily, weighing up to 13 kg, with or without mechanical assistance, following appropriate training.

This position involves shift work covering days, evenings, nights, and holidays, with some solitary duties. The shift pattern spans 8 weeks, averaging 7.5 hours between 8 am and 1 am. Participation in an On-call Rota is also required.
