In a full-time Branch based role, you’ll be working 35 hours across Monday to Saturday across the hours of 8:00am - 6:00pm.

If you are interested in a part time role, during the initial training period you would be required to commit to working three 7-hour shifts across Wednesday, Thursday and Friday, from 9am - 5pm for your first 3 weeks in role.
