This position will be based in the Rochdale / Oldham areas. As this role can require Emergency Response, your location will be checked at screening stage.

The Important Bit

When you join us here at cadent, and to make sure we train you to be at your best, we ask you to carry out a period of probation. Throughout this time, you will earn £26,975. Once we have upskilled you in all things Gas Emergency Service Operations, you will progress to £29,972. From day 1 if you work over your contracted hours you will be entitled to an hourly rate of pay (£17.10 per hour). Throughout our peak times, we may require you to work additional hours, which of course attracts an additional hourly rate of pay (up to £21.62 per hour dependant on time) As we operate 365 days a year, you will need to undertake overnight standbys which will vary in amount depending on the area you work in. This standby will offer you an additional set payment of £55.00 per weeknight and £90.00 per weekend. On top of all of that, we want to recognise you for being at your best. Once you have passed your probation, you will also receive a monthly incentive payment based on team performance. This is our way of thanking you for your Customer Service.
