- Participating in a 24/7 out-of-hours standby rota will be required after a suitable period of training and assessment.
- Additionally, you will be required to undertake health and safety checks and take ownership of your own and your colleague's health and safety by escalating any concerns to your manager and resolving them yourself where possible.
Base Location: Thames Gateway - Essex - IG11 0AD.
Working Pattern or hours: 38 Hours per week Plus the inclusion onto a standby rota for which you will receive additional payment.
A company van is also provided.
