In this case OP says they have full time employment (albeit temporary) but is being asked to attend on a Saturday. That does seem unreasonable.

I think that depends on how long their temporary contract is for.

If it’s two years I’d agree with you, but if it’s a couple of months then it makes sense for the appointments to continue.

       My view would mirror calcotti's. 

    It's likely that a work coach will have other claimants that would benefit more from their attention, than causing potential inconvenience for a claimant who has secured full time work.
