My first 24/7 role was
Mon Tue Fri Sat Sun Wed Thu on earlies
Then repeated on lates
Then a week of nights Monday through Sunday
Then a week off
I believe it’s changed now as they don’t like 7x12 hour night shifts in a row. Personally I preferred to deal with the “jet lag” once every 6 weeks and be done with it.
Those shifts tended to be fairly quiet with about 4-5 hours of breaks (unless something went really wrong)
You can staff a 24/7 shift with 5 people, but you really need 6 once you factor in holiday, illness, training etc.
