£6.50ish and hour plus shift pay makes it £7.30 p/h monday to frinday, and extra £1p/h on a saturday and £2p/h on a sunday.
There will be opportunities at most stations coming up for the summer but maybe not to go straight in as dispatch/trc.
And depending on the station they might not give any full time contracts, only 20 hours per week.

you can bet your life rampies get paid more than dispatch staff!. Normally ground handlers recruit for dispatch staff from within (or at least that's my experience) so you would be very lucky just to walk into a role from the outside.

ive not been involved in ground handling dispatch for a while now, but the best way to tell was to look in the staff car park, look at the hardware the rampies drive to work compared to pax handling / dispatch!. .... the was quite a difference, we lost a few of our dispatchers to Ramp a number of times.

Did two recent summers for Servisair as a Dispatcher / Load Controller/ Turnaround Co-ordinator.....Call it what you will
First season I was on a casual contract zero hours...so varied from 45+ hours a week in the peak of the summer to 10 right at the end of October wage was £6.44 for everything no extras at all.
Second season only difference was that I got a part-time temporary contract of 20 hours....helped a bit towards the end of summer when the hours where dropping off!
Certainly wouldn't go back for the money .....but a very fun exciting first step on the ladder job if you are wanting to get into aviation and I have fond memories of it!
Advice would be try to get into a big airline who self-handle ......most of the handling agents treatment of lower level staff has deteriorated severely in recent years considering the amount of responsibility held.
