    Hi Tim,

    Thanks for your enquiry.

    I can advise that you must live within 60 minutes travelling time of Reading station, based on normal traffic conditions. The only other minimum requirements are:

    • You must be at least 18 years of age
    • You must be comfortable working shifts, including weekends - this will include a rotating shift pattern of earlies (0600-1400), lates (1400-2200) and night shifts (2145-0615)

    I've noticed that the advert will close tonight, so if you are interested please ensure you submit your application this evening.

    I think unless you live in far West London e.g. around the Feltham area, then the commute will likely be too long, unfortunately.

Have a question of your own?
