The late shift finishes at 12:30am, and although overnight shifts can be worked from home once training is complete, this is conditional (if there are any issues with home internet or connectivity, the expectation is that the individual can travel to the office immediately). Unfortunately, public transport is not a viable option at that time of night, and we do not want to have staff relying on buses at 1am. Additionally, weekend shifts begin at 7am, and the person on duty would be the only one in the office at that time. Therefore, punctuality is critical. While we understand that exceptional circumstances can arise, we need someone who can consistently meet these requirements without relying on public transport disruptions. About You:<ul>
