These events are not generally late-running, with most finishing around 8:00pm–9:00pm, and the latest finishes expected to be around 11:00pm for adult evenings. As senior members of the team, both positions will also require a degree of flexibility to support occasional ad hoc events, training sessions, stock takes and other operational requirements when necessary.
