For candidates
Most of our assignments are filled from registered candidates before they are ever advertised. Registration is free, takes under an hour with your documents to hand, and covers every sector we supply.
We never charge work-seekers

The process
Tell us who you are, the work you are looking for and your availability. Registration is free — we never charge work-seekers.
Your work history, skills, certifications and the sectors and shift patterns that suit you.
Right to Work evidence, photographic ID, proof of address and any licences or certificates for the roles you want.
We verify your documents, obtain references and arrange any role-specific checks such as a DBS where required.
Assignments may be offered based on availability, compliance status, skills, experience and client requirements.
You receive a Key Information Document setting out pay, holiday and deductions before you agree terms.
You arrive briefed on the site, the shift, the dress code and who to report to — not working it out on the day.
Submit your hours, get paid weekly through PAYE with tax and National Insurance handled, and receive a payslip each period.
Before you start
Depending on the role
Pay and holiday
Every agency work-seeker must receive one before agreeing terms. It sets out who is paying you, the type of contract, the minimum rate you can expect, how holiday is handled and any deductions or fees.
If you have not received one, ask for it. It exists precisely so that none of this is a surprise on your first payslip.
