Hours: When the house is unoccupied, hours are typically Monday to Friday, 9am to 5pm. When the family is in residence, the schedule increases to six days per week, with additional time returned as time in lieu during quieter periods.
Start date: December 2026, with some flexibility for an earlier start.
