We’d start with a 1-month trial period and if it’s a good mutual fit, we’d expand your hours and term.
What’s in it for me?
Flexible working hours so you can grocery shop on weekday mornings when everyone else is at work.

Supportive, happy teammates who genuinely care about each other and what we do in and outside work.
