How are the working hours at Barnardo's?

Answered 9 April 2019

Working hours depend on the position. For a manager it's 35 hours per week working 5 days from 9am to 5.30pm. Store associates are contracted to work 3 days a week from 9am to 5-30pm. Sometimes you will be expected to do overtime/cover other shops.

I'm going to respond here as the previous responses are all in relation to volunteer work. Yes the hours are flexible if you apply for a volunteer position, but no, if it's a paid position the hours are not necessarily flexible unless you give plenty of notice and arrange your rosta ahead of time with the store manager. Finding cover at last minute is not easy. You are expected to be flexible and able to work overtime/ cover other stores if asked.
