Just wondering do these type of roles get advertised with it’s more than one vacancy? 

Just wondering as I’ve seen a vacancy 3 nights that would just be ideal whilst I sort my long term future out but I don’t want get my hopes up if reality is the store only want one person? 

Going to apply, if I get an interview I can ask but just wondered?

    IF the post is advertised it means they are seeking at least one person but maybe more does it really matter??

    I think they'll get lots of people applying and then possibly hire someone who doesn't realise what it's like to work nights so there'll be a high turnover.  I know that there's a lot of people that get hired to "pick" for deliveries sometimes starting at 4 am or similar so very early before the customers start to pile in.  It will really depend on the roles involved.  Lots of stackers needed but few on the tills etc.

    Not sure I understand the question, if they wanted total 10 people for the role would you expect there to be 10 adverts?

    And if you wanted the job would you not apply if you knew there was only one position?
