You’ll start with 22 days paid annual holiday, rising to 30 days a year with length of service. This is on top of public holidays and four days off after working your four-day shift which can include nights. You can also expect other forms of leave including maternity, paternity and adoption leave and the option of taking a career break of up to five years.
