Without knowing your circumstances surely you can’t survive on only working half the year on £12.50 hr, with 4o4o you need a higher rate to make up for your missed days work, or you’ll end up begging and hoping for extra shifts every week, which kinda defeats the object of the shift patternYou also need to make sure their is a minimum guaranteed hours, because when your in on a weekend or bank hol certainly for me the runs are occasionally shorter as theirs usually no reloading, Green Group was mentioned who I ran for out of Manchester but there was no guaranteed hrs so you would sometimes run 6/7 hours on a weekend and then that’s you done.
For your convenience my rate is £15 which seems standard north west, with a guaranteed 12hrs without extra shifts that’s around 32k, and your giving up alot of weekends and bank hols for that.
I’ve also some how managed to apply for xpo at Ketton ( I just looked at the job on line as far as I know ) so will see if anything comes of that , no idea of xpo wages etc so maybe better , hopefully
