Hi there
Well the shift pattern is 7 nights and 7 days scattered over a month.
4 nights - - - 3 days - 3 nights - - - 4 days - - - - - - - (each dash = 1 day of rest)
Pay is market rate for CAT 9 ( Starting sal. is based on a step system)
Pension is private to new starters
Day to day running is different each day. Core is training like most Airports. Although like most CAT 9 fire services your kept on your toe's, which suits me. Great place to work!
