I don’t really want to sign up with agencies and be working at different depots most weekends.
Sign up with…
The agencies, no hear me out.
Tell them consicely what you’re looking for and that they will be wasting their time offering you shifts doing anything else. Now you can find out what’s out there, who’s looking for weekend cover and who’s worth doing the graft for. Then at a later date, you could lean over the counter and ask if it’s possible to do this without the agency.
There are very few firms out there offering occaisional shifts under PAYE terms. The current driver situation might have changed that though.
Good luck.
