I said I would post this on here for a local company. I don’t know if the job is good or bad but it’s a job.
MONARCH METALS Ltd. Two depots (Rochdale & Oldham - I think). Scrap metal merchants
Driver required for permanent position
Cat C
Monday to Saturday 43.5 hours (including 3.5 hours on Saturday) @ £8.00 for 3 months then rise to £8.50 per hours
08:15 to 16:30 weekdays
1/2 hour lunch plus any legal breaks required
When no driving to be done would be expected to assist in warehouse
Tel: 0161 665 1819 ask for Leonard
I do not particularly know the company but have met a couple of their drivers. I am not recommending them nor commenting on the rate of pay. I am not connected to the company other than I know of them. It’s a job if you need one.
Six day week? - Walk away. I wouldn’t touch that even for my normal going rates of over £10ph days…
I’d imagine that 3.5 hour saturday would be quite lucrative to get on agency though - make sure you work for one that pays a minimum of 8 hours for a “assignment callout”.
A good job for someone who tops up their earnings by removing lead from church roofs, and doesn’t mind being chased by the yard guard dogs.
If you’re lucky you’ll get a truck pimped with Kelsa bars and lights off a written off truck. If unlucky you’ll get to drive ancient junk formerly owned by a demolition or waste company. Hand painted with battle scars thrown in free of charge.

Have you driven old Smiths kit? I think we only sell the stuff that’s considered to rubbish to park in our scrap pile to use as spare parts in the future.
Or in the case of my old unit I think the problem was all the blood and Tesco tuna pasta snacks sprayed around the interior.
