Weekend work — your questions answered

Can I do this alongside a full-time job?

Yes — lots of Jobbers do. There are no set shifts and no minimum hours, so you simply go online on the weekends and evenings you're free, and stay offline the rest of the week.

Is there a minimum number of hours?

No. You're never committed to a number of hours. Take one job on a Saturday morning or fill the whole weekend — it's entirely up to you.

Will it affect my main job or my tax?

You work on BOB O JOB as a self-employed Jobber, separately from your employer. You're responsible for declaring this income and any tax due — we recommend checking your employment contract and HMRC guidance on second/self-employed income.

What kind of weekend jobs are there?

Cleaning, gardening, moving help, handyman tasks, dog walking, general odd jobs and events work — the everyday jobs Londoners book most at weekends. Pick the categories that match your skills.

What checks do I have to pass?

Every Jobber is ID-verified, interviewed by our team and DBS-checked before they take a single job — you apply for the DBS check yourself at gov.uk and pay the fee, which is a cost of running your own business. Nobody is approved automatically, and customers can see that every Jobber has been through the same checks.

When and how do I get paid?

The customer's card is authorised the moment they post the job, so the money is checked and reserved before you travel and there's no invoice to raise or chase. It isn't held in a separate escrow account and it isn't a guarantee: nothing actually leaves the customer's account until the job is confirmed complete, and in the rare case of a dispute or a card chargeback a payment can be reversed after it has reached you. Your earnings are released as soon as the customer confirms the job — or automatically about 4 hours after you mark it complete if they don't, unless they've raised an issue. That window gives them a fair chance to flag a problem before the money moves, which is what keeps disputes from landing after you've been paid. From there it's paid into your bank on Stripe's standard schedule — usually 1–2 business days once your account is established. Your first payout can take a little longer while Stripe finishes its checks.
