Frequently Asked Questions
While a valid CSCS card is highly desirable and often required for larger construction sites, many immediate start roles through Carer Agency do not require one initially. We can place you on sites that accept non-card holders while we support you in obtaining your card, which significantly increases your job opportunities and pay rate. We recommend checking our dedicated guide on CSCS Labourer jobs for more information.
We specialise in fast-track recruitment. If you have all your documentation ready (proof of address, right to work, bank details, NI number), you could be registered, interviewed, and placed on a site within 24-48 hours. The"Immediate Start" label is genuine – we have clients in Northampton NN1 who need reliable staff urgently.
Temporary roles are for a fixed period or to cover a specific project. Temp-to-perm (temporary-to-permanent) means you start on a temporary basis with the client, and if both parties are happy, you have the opportunity to be taken on as a direct, permanent employee after a trial period. Many of our General Labourer roles offer this pathway, providing job security after proving your skills and reliability.
No, Carer Agency is a multi-sector recruitment specialist. While we are actively hiring General Labourers, we also fill a vast array of other positions.
