    It would depend on the circumstances. As I am now then no. But when I was completely on the breadline an extra 70 a month (I'm assuming you mean month) would have pure joy, so yes I would have.

    It all depends on your circumstances now. We can't base of on what you have just wrote.
    Forty and fabulous, well that's what my cards say....

    I read that as £70 a day.

    I thought the Op meant £70 per week. ?????

    OP, you need to clarify your Q.

  • I vote week??

    Would I be right in assuming that WP or JCP are insisting that you apply for the job described?
  • 5pm to 4am would be 11 hours of work so I'd assume it's £70 a day and even that makes it less than minimum wage if over 25 (unless the deductions change that).

    Op if Flyomthewall is right, i hope you haven't got a tachograph in the vehicle. Isn't the maximum you can work only 9hrs, and then only if you have a 45min break.

    For smaller goods vehicles the maximum is ten hours driving and eleven hours on shift. It's not clear what the OP will be full on driving.

    I wonder if this is a self employed role, and what the actual rate is before deductions.

    OP's post is pointless with such vague information.
