We are ideally looking for people who can work a mixture of weekdays and weekends, with at least some weekend availability.

Roster consistency is highly valued. While there will always be some flexibility, we would particularly love to hear from applicants who can commit to a fairly regular pattern of days each week.

Depending on availability and experience,



we may have opportunities ranging from a couple of regular shifts each week through to full-time hours for the right person.

As we are building our team ahead of the busier summer period, multiple positions may be available.
