Sometimes this will be planned in advance, and at other times it may be at short notice to help cover a shift which has become unexpectedly available.

We take a flexible approach to relief work and there is no obligation on you to take shifts which are offered out if they're not convenient for you. This means you can work as much or as little as you like depending on the shifts available.
