• Keep simple and accurate records using site systems.

Why join us?

• £12.71 per hour.
• Permanent contract of 60 hours per fortnight.
• A set two-week shift pattern, including one full weekend off every two weeks.
• Access to our Employee Benefits app, including online GP access, Employee Assistance Scheme and hundreds of discounts, including savings on your weekly supermarket shop and weekend treats.
