Evening and Weekend work in Bristol

Many people do casual work, such as working as a shop assistant or in a restaurant. This can be because they like the flexibility to work around school/university or because it suits their employer.

Casual jobs are normally paid on an hourly or daily rate, allowing you to either earn enough to get-by, or to supplement a full time salary from another job.

As well as offering flexibility, casual work also usually pays a higher hourly rate because you receive an extra payment or loading on top of the basic hourly rate. This is to make up for not receiving the other benefits paid to permanent workers, such as sick leave.
