Frequently Asked Questions (General Labourer Jobs)
While a CSCS (Construction Skills Certification Scheme) card is highly desirable and often required for larger construction sites, we also have many general labouring roles in warehouses, events, and with smaller contractors where it is not mandatory. If you don't have one, we can advise you on how to obtain the relevant card, which often involves passing a health and safety test.
Always wear sturdy, steel-toe-capped safety boots. This is non-negotiable for most sites. Also wear durable, high-visibility clothing (hi-vis vest or jacket) and weather-appropriate work trousers and tops. It's better to be over-prepared. Your consultant will confirm any specific PPE (Personal Protective Equipment) requirements before your first shift.
We operate a weekly pay cycle. Timesheets are typically submitted weekly, and once approved, payment is made directly to your bank account every Friday. This reliable, weekly pay is one of the key benefits of working with a reputable agency like ours.
Absolutely. Many of our temporary assignments are"temp-to-perm," meaning the client uses the temporary period to assess your fit for their team. Performing well, showing reliability, and a good attitude is the best way to be offered a permanent contract. We actively promote this pathway for our workers.
