- Flexibility: A positive, resilient attitude toward early mornings and outdoor weekend event living.
- Proximity: You must live within a reliable commuting distance of Northchapel.

- £35,000 stable yearly salary.
- Full funding and training for your 18-ton HGV driving qualification.
- A fun, vibrant working atmosphere surrounded by dog enthusiasts.
