What is a typical schedule shift structure?

A standard shift structure for our Services is outlined below.

Residential hours – weekday pattern (example only)


Note: Start and end times may vary. Include one staff meeting every fortnight.


Residential hours – weekend pattern (example only)


Notes:

• Start and end times may vary. Many residential services require double staffing in the mornings and evenings. On weekends this will also include daytime coverage.
  
• It is important that shift start and finish times on any given day are the same for the first and second week of the schedule.

Day hours
Weekday pattern only in vocational services and internal day programmes.
