There’ll be plenty of interaction with customers too, so we’re looking for someone who cares about ensuring all our customers have a great experience – and learning from them how we can do better.

This role will require some evening and weekend working and a certain level of flexibility – but we will aim to work with you to find shifts that work for you. Shift Type Examples: Day time: 8am to 4pm/Evenings: 4pm to 10.30pm
