You must be flexible and available to work a 4-week rota working 3 weeks of 4 x 12-hour shifts and 1 week of 3 x 12-hour shifts, between Monday - Friday (days only).

G4S has recently been acquired by Allied Universal making the company the biggest security provider and the 7th largest employer in the World.
