Company / agency ?
PAYE/ Ltd / brolly ?
Based from where in the country ?
Doing what ? How much time working and how much potential for tossing it off/sleeping?
Weeknights only or Fri, Sat, Suns as well ?
Nobody can give you a meaningful answer without the required info.

Reasonable, yes. I’d work for that. That’s £173 for 12 hours. There’s a lot worse out there.
No…you need to pass on that job, there’s better out there.
Oh btw, erm, out of curiosity what company is it just so I know to avoid them you understand. 
Wish my nighttime overtime rate was that much never mind the standard rate!

I don’t know, what do you think?
Only you can decide if the pay suits you, if the work suits you , and if the hours suit you.
What others think is irrelevant as everyone’s circumstances are different.
Day rate, presumably ?
Its not the very highest out there, but it’s a bloody sight better than a hell of a lot are paying.
If the hours, we presume Monday to Friday nights though personally i’d rather do Sun/Thur to avoid Friday evening mayhem, are to your liking and the job is too then it’s a decent enough craic.
Just be sure it’s paid on the clock not paid 10/11 hours whatever happens in which case you know some 15’s will be on the cards, and make sure they don’t expect bank holiday working for the same rate, a day in lieu is not good enough.
Night rate apparently - obviously I can’t read…

It’s a on a 4 on 2 off, home everyday, yes they pay a one off extra payment for working bank holidays + day off in lieu
Plus a small one off payment of £15 for a Saturday £20 for a Sunday & £25 for a bank holiday
It all sounds too good to be true BUT…they are always advertising so that raises the red flag WHATS WRONG WITH IT■■?

‘‘Plus a small one off payment of £15 for a Saturday £20 for a Sunday & £25 for a bank holiday’’
So on top of the hourly rate, you get the above payments too on a daily basis, ie you work Sat Sun and Bank Hol Mon and get an additional £60 plus a lieu day for the Mon?
What’s wrong with it?
Could be anything, self employed ie agency**** (that’s my bet), old or sub standard lorry, maybe have to use any lorry that happens to be about, handball/self loading/■■■■■■■ to be done, multi drop, awkward places to get in, double manned, miserable buggers to have to deal with, colleagues/supervisors/foremen/managers that are bullies, who knows what the craic is, some people might baulk at any of them some won’t care a bugger so long as the promised pay materialises, it might be all of the above or none of them and the job’s fine but maybe you need to use your nous a bit.
All you can do is go for an interview with an open mind, keep in mind they are trying to sell the job to you so look for what they aint telling you, ie the bits they gloss over.
The info I have posted was from a telephone convo it is PAYE direct to Arla
No handball, if you can screw a pipe on a outlet you can do the job I was told
Personally, I’d definitely go for the interview. It sounds like a half decent tanker job. If you feel it’s not for you, then don’t accept the job. Just go for the interview.
No, but if it were 8-10 hour shifts rather than 10-15 hour shifts for the same salary - then yes, it would be. 
You get paid for every hour, don’t you?
It’s not job-and-finish is it?

They say you get payed for every minute your clocked it

A 13 hour shift won’t be so bad then. I know you’re not paid an overtime rate, but if the job’s relaxed, you get left alone, and the motor’s half decent, then it might not bother you.
Avoid jobs where they give you a rate for the shift. For example, they promise you £120 per shift, and say “you’ll work about 10 hours on average”. The translation is “if you’re lucky, you’ll get an early finish after 10 hours”. It puts you into a stressful mindset where your only goal is getting back to the yard as quick as possible. The slightest hold up translates mentally as less hourly pay. Not healthy.
This gig would definitely get my tail wagging, worth going to an interview to find out more.
4 on 2 off won’t suit everybody, a lot of weekend shifts among that…
4 on 2 off means that after knocking off your 25 days holiday, and the 8 bank holidays, you’ll work about 208 days of the year.
Let’s suppose you average 12 hours per shift, then 12x £14.45 is £173.
£173 x 208 days = £36067 per year. You can probably expect at least £33-£34k if they deduct breaks, or you average a bit less than 12 hours. Either way, it’s not bad at all. However, you will only get a handful of weekends off through the year.
