Working Pattern

Full-time CSAs work 35 hours per week between the hours of 08:00 and 17:30, Monday to Friday. In any given calendar month as a CSA you would work either 08:00 – 16:00, 08:30 – 1630, 09:00 – 17:00, or 09:30 – 17:30.

Successful candidates will work the majority of their shifts on the 09:00 – 17:00 pattern, as those are the opening hours for the daytime telephony service. However, we have a rota in place to ensure that enough staff are present during the transition to/from our OOH service – this means that as a rule you will spend two thirds of a year on 09:00 – 17:00, and the rest of the year on a combination of the other patterns
