Anyone know what the part-time shifts are like? It looks like they are bending over backwards to get drivers with part-time work now offered. I would like constant back shifts and part time, ie 4 days a week, but I'm not sure if they would go for that, lol. Is there not flexible working now in work place?

£11ph rising to £13ph after two years service. You would also be eligible for part of the sign on bonus if you already hold a licence.
