Currently working 4/4 days/nights. 12 Hour days 10 hour nights, and feed up with the nights, lack of weekends and lack of sleep, been doing it for 3 and a bit years.We get £3250 in shift allowance, this has risen from an initial £2000 when we first started. Had the chance a couple of years ago to do the 2/2/4 system that a lot of you do and turned it down, a decision I am now beginning to regret.
Time off is great, moneys not bad, just wish I could sleep properly after every shift, some days like today a good uninterupted 7 hours, other days a very rough 5.Still we have to pay the bills
