I have translated this already but do not feel entirely sure about it - how do others interpret this? Thanks for your help.

a number

"... personnel may be assigned to a number or just one of any of the duties specified".
This is one way of doing it. It just means that they could do a variety of the duties or spend all their time on just one.

assigned to different roles other than those ....

You would never use promiscuous in this context ( the term often comes up when referring to company cars that are drivenused both for business and private purposes).

indiscriminately

on a variable basis

"...personnel may be assigned to diverse tasks among those specified, on a fixed or variable basis"

This was interesting, so I had to ask my husband (an Italian employment atty). As is so often the case, this is a lovely little particularity of Italian law, in which employment contracts generally must specify EXACTLY the employee will be doing, UNLESS they specify the contrary, that is that what they'll be doing isn't set (!).
A lot of the answers you have already received would do the trick perfectly here, it just depends on how closely it needs to reflect the Italian employment law (ie convoluted!) mind-set.
Hope this helps!

promicuo = promisuous...not number!
