ELDN is open from 8am to 5pm only so the team will never have to work early shifts or late evenings. We also close for the 2 weeks in August so the team will have an enjoyable summer holiday and 1 weeks over the Christmas and new Year. We offer 4 training day across the year, fully paid so staff don’t have to use their Saturdays for training.
