Selected candidates may be required to work shifts outside normal working hours and perform on-call duties. The appointment is on non-civil service contract terms for 12 months, with renewal subject to the service need of the Department and the performance of the candidate. The monthly salary ranges from HK$72,430 to HK$103,810 depending on relevant qualification and experience, plus an end-of-contract gratuity.
