You'll know which days you're working and which you're not based on your roster pattern, but won't know which shifts you'll work on those days until the Thursday the week before (and these can be changed up to 48 hours before the shift).Hey everyone, I’m considering applying for a relief role (already secured a FTC on a grade 2) which is a grade 5 GPR 24%. Does anyone know roughly what salary this equates to? Also is it worth doing a relief role? What are the pros and cons? Do you also get allowances on top? Or is it all covered in the 24%? Any advice would be really helpful! thank you
This can be quite disruptive. However, you'll get to work in a variety of signal boxes (24% flexible premium covers a large area). Working as a resident signaller can feel like groundhog day sometimes, so the variety may be welcome. You'll also have a lot of opportunities for overtime as you'll sign a lot of boxes.
For the reasons above, GPR positions of at least 18% are reasonably sought after, at least around here. I'd be very tempted if I were you.
