Nights

[Sharknado]

Only for 2min Christmas and New Year’s Eve else the gate be calling to get that bell!

Are nights readily available?

I start as an OSG on 5 feb before poelt in April and to be honest I prefer working nights!

Call your establishment straight away - normally someone will/want to give up a week of nights if you ask. You’ll do 7 on and get 7 off. It’s 11hr shifts - you’ll have to do inundation and fire hood as a priority on training if not already in.

Depends: I got on a dedicated night team as no one wanted to work them.

Even with earplugs you can still hear

Is it easy enough to get a week of nights off someone? The 7 days off is quite appealing to jet off for a few days.

Really easy!! I started this week and was told people give them up

Quick question- he nights.

I read if you do a week of nights you then get 7 days off the following week...are you paid for the week you are off?

[npatchett2000]

Yes as u do 77 hrs in the week of nights you have done the hrs for 2 weeks

[Starsnstripes]

I thought that was how it worked Because you're basically doing 2 weeks work in 1 week

[Harty89]

People at my establishment will love me because I’ll do it every other month or so, wouldn’t want it permanently like but now and then would be alright.

I'd happily be on permanent nights. I've always worked a range of shifts and find I get more time with my kids when I'm on nights!

I'm going to speak with my mentor when I start and just let her know I'm more than happy for the night shifts.

I start in Feb 2018 and I too wouldn't mind doing nights just to get more time off.
