What you'll do at work

Due to the geographical nature of our work, nights away from home will form part of the role, as will working extra hours to those stipulated. We will endeavour to provide at least five working days’ notice, but this may not always be possible, especially in the event of breakdowns. Travelling and subsistence will be in accordance with our procedures. You will be expected to attend further courses as and when expected.
