For bank applicants we can offer flexible working patterns and shift times to suit all applicants – theatres at BMI The Highfield work Monday to Saturday with lists starting at 8am until 8pm (except Saturday 8am-4pm). Bank workers are employed to cover gaps in the staff roster – as such the amount of hours offered cannot be guaranteed but we are often in a position where bank support is required – so please log in and apply.
