Important info to note - There will be 7 x 11.5 shifts per fortnight = 80.5 hours over 14 days. So equivalent of a 40.25 hour working week. The two shift times are DAY: 07:00 - 18:30 and NIGHT: 19:30 - 07:00 so you must be willing to work both of these shifts. The role will be mostly remote, with between 2-6 office days per month (dependant on experience, client requirements).
