Job description

Whether you’re looking for part-time weekend jobs, Saturday jobs near you, or Sunday jobs in Reading, consider making money flexibly with Uber instead. As an independent driver or courier, you’re empowered to make money if and when you want, including during weekends.

A flexible schedule is one of the reasons to consider this alternative to more traditional jobs on weekends or throughout the week – it’s your choice. You can help riders move around Reading or make deliveries on your own schedule that fits your lifestyle. Get started in 3 steps: Sign up, upload your documents and activate your account to access opportunities to make money with Uber (local requirements may also apply).

With these flexible opportunities, no day is the same. You could transport riders to the airport or pick people up from points of interest in Reading. You could make deliveries from restaurants when you’ve got time in your schedule. Choose to unlock opportunities to make money, including all weekend long in Reading, only drive or deliver on Saturday or Sunday morning, or do whatever works best for you. In addition, you can work during the week. The choice is yours.

What about a private-hire driver and vehicle licence?

In order to drive on the Uber app, you’ll need a private-hire driver licence and vehicle licence from a council that Uber is licensed by. If you haven’t got these, that’s okay – we’ll help you get started with a personalised Ignition appointment where we offer advice and support through the licensing process, after you sign up.

What it takes to deliver?
• Be at least 18 years old

Uber’s mission is to reimagine the way the world moves for the better. We started in 2010 to solve a simple problem: How do you get access to a ride at the touch of a button? More than 30 billion trips later, we’re building products to help people get closer to where they want to be. By changing how people, food and things move through cities, Uber is a platform that opens up the world to new possibilities.

Uber is available in more than 15,000 cities worldwide. We welcome drivers from the driving industry, such as bus, truck, taxi, limo, catering and commercial drivers. We welcome couriers from the delivery industry, such as bicycle and motorbike couriers. It’s easy to get started.
