There can also be variations if you wished to have an early finish once a week, or additional hours to achieve 40 hours per week. You will be rota 'd to 1-2 bank holidays per year in Stone Lion, and there are NO on-call requirements. Both sites have their own nuance's, and you will be fully supported in both with experienced support colleagues who have worked in their respective branches for years.
