Remuneration and work pattern
You will be expected to work in a 7 day, 24 hour rotating shift pattern, including on call and working two weekends out of three. You will be paid monthly which includes an additional 14% shift allowance plus a weekend working allowance, which enhances overall pay to between £34,000 and £40,000. plus overtime payments.
