  • Character: You are open-minded, intelligent, and have a genuine sense of care.
  • Experience: None required I'm looking for the right attitude, not a specific skillset.
  • Mindset: You're a great listener, a quick learner, and happy to try your best.
  • Flexibility: You understand that life doesn't always run 9-to-5 and are sometimes able to stay a bit longer if needed (all hours are paid, of course).
  • You understand: The importance of reliability and can take initiative.
  • You are looking for: A role where your contribution makes a direct and meaningful impact.

The Details: Shifts, Pay & Location
