Expected Hours
10-40 hours per week
As a growing business, we cannot currently guarantee 40 hours every week.
However, hours are expected to become more regular and consistent over time for reliable team members. The more dependable, capable and flexible you are, the more work will typically be available.
Whilst we cannot make guarantees at this stage, we are currently fully booked and actively turning away work due to demand. As the business continues to grow, there is potential for suitable individuals to move towards a more consistent 40-hour working week.
