There are 7 schools that require overnights, and they would be divided between two teams. The overnights would be like a Tuesday/Wednesday night in general. You would know your schedule as soon as you are hired and what nights would be overnights so I don't think it would be a problem to keep another night time job.

Some schools require us to return to the office late though, like 6 or 8 but again you would know that as soon as you are hired.
