All the details
Working pattern
Our People Hub Support Centre is open 7 days a week. A full-time contract will see you working 37.5 hours a week and covering a rotating shift pattern. There will be a requirement for you to work some bank holidays and weekends but these will be shared evenly with the rest of your team.
- Monday to Friday 8am to 4pm or 10am to 6pm which are done on rotation.
- Saturday and Sunday between 9am and 5pm (1 in 4)
- Bank Holiday Support done on an adhoc basis

To stay close to customers, our support teams are in the office four days a week as we believe that skills are developed through collaboration, and that spending time together makes us more creative and connected.
