Weekend Jobs Overview

Although we may think of the working week as strictly Monday to Friday, the reality is that a variety of weekend jobs are crucial to keeping the economy going. Living busy lives, many of us save the weekend for errands and leisure, so for businesses to cater to this demand and operate on Saturdays and Sundays, they need a workforce of dedicated people looking to leave traditional hours behind.

For workers, these roles can be an opportunity to earn extra income from a second job. In fact, according to the Office for National Statistics, around 31 million people in the UK have a second job, and many of those will be worked on weekends. Weekend work could also be your sole gig and a great way to fit your career around other commitments such as study, family, and creative pursuits.

To broaden your search, explore more flexible jobs by also looking at:

Weekend Work Training and Skills

The type of training and skills you need to work on the weekend depend on the specific job you have and vary significantly. However, there are some industries in which weekend hours are more common, such as:

  • hospitality
  • retail
  • sports and leisure
  • healthcare
  • construction and maintenance

Look at the job descriptions for roles that you’re interested in to get a better idea of what employers are looking for. As well as any qualifications that you need to succeed in your chosen profession, there are some soft skills that will help you in any job, including good communication, problem-solving, and teamwork.

Update Your CV for Weekend Positions

Ahead of applying for your new job, make sure that your CV is up to date and tailored for the vacancy at hand. Check our articles for advice on how to create a CV that grabs attention. Don’t forget that you also need a stand-out cover letter to support your application. This should tell the hiring manager what attracted you to the position and which skills and experience make you the right fit. Write yours with the help of our tips and advice for cover letters.

Interviewing for Weekend Jobs

You’ve crafted a fantastic application and now you’ve received an invitation to interview—congratulations! To keep the nerves at bay, it’s now time to prepare, prepare, prepare. We have lots of interview advice to help you get ready, including tips on how to answer common interview questions.

Learn About Companies You Might Work for

In addition to practicing your interview answers, it’s also important to spend some time researching the company to make yourself familiar with aspects of the culture, performance, and goals to show your interviewer that you’re both interested and proactive. Check out a variety of company profiles on Monster for information on values, culture, size, and location.

How Much Does Weekend Work Pay?

How much you earn in a weekend job depends on the industry you’re in, the expected qualifications and experience, and your responsibilities. Because weekend work is often part-time work, your salary will be calculated pro-rata of the full wage for your job description during normal hours.

However, some jobs may offer a financial incentive to work outside the traditional 9-5 Monday to Friday schedule. This will be at the company’s discretion and may come in the form of a higher pay rate or money to cover your meals and travel costs. Do some research to learn what you could expect to earn in the position you’re seeking.
