House Assistant Hours
These are the House Assistant hours that we are working towards across the Houses: Weekdays: 07.30 to 19.00
Saturday: 07.30 to 23.00
Sunday: 08.30 to 22.00
30 minute overlap between House Assistants for handovers.
All 3 House Assistants should attend a 1 hour meeting every week, if possible. This should come to a total of 90 House Assistant hours per House per week.
