Why Join Matthew’s?

This is an opportunity to take on a varied full-time position rather than being assigned to the same site every day.

You will become an important part of our Newcastle operations, working closely with the supervisory team and helping us maintain consistent standards across our sites.

For the right person, this role provides the opportunity to develop additional responsibility and experience in staff training, quality and site support.

Important

This position requires a high level of flexibility.

Although the typical working window will be approximately 5:00 pm–1:00 am, start and finish times and locations may change depending on operational requirements.

If you are looking for a fixed-site position with exactly the same hours every day, this role may not be suitable.

However, if you enjoy variety, can adapt to changing requirements and take pride in helping a team deliver consistently high standards, we would love to hear from you.
