When I looked in to this last year, the shift patterns were all over the place, three days here, three nights the following week including weekends, the hourly rate looks good at first, but if you take account unsociable hours, it doesn’t look that good.

Personally I didn’t apply as I believe these types of shifts affect your biorhythms, but then again I’m a old ■■■■.
