Frequently Asked Questions
For candidates with all their documentation ready (Right to Work, NI number, etc.), the process from application to first shift can be as quick as 48-72 hours. We have clients with immediate vacancies, and our priority is to match suitable candidates and complete compliance checks swiftly. The speed often depends on how quickly you can provide the necessary documents and attend a brief registration.
Carer Agency works with a diverse portfolio of clients across London. Placements can include commercial office buildings in the City or Canary Wharf, educational facilities like schools and universities, healthcare settings such as clinics and private hospitals (where enhanced training may be given), retail spaces, residential apartment complexes, and occasional one-off deep cleans for events. During registration, we discuss your preferences and any site restrictions to find the best match.
This is client-dependent. The majority of our commercial clients will provide all necessary cleaning equipment, chemicals, and PPE (like gloves and aprons) on-site. Some may also provide a uniform or require you to wear a Carer Agency-branded polo shirt, which we can supply. For certain domestic or smaller contracts, you may be expected to bring basic equipment. This will always be clarified in advance during the job offer stage, so there are no surprises on your first day.
Yes, absolutely. Many of our temporary cleaning assignments are "temp-to-perm". This means the client uses the temporary period to assess your performance, reliability, and fit within their team. If you perform well and the client has a permanent vacancy, they will often offer you a direct contract. We see this happen frequently and always encourage our temps to view each assignment as a potential long-term career opportunity.
Communication is key. We will always discuss the specific details of a role—including location, shift times, and duration—with you before you accept an offer. You are under no obligation to accept a role that doesn't suit your circumstances. If your availability changes or a placement isn't working out logistically, you should speak to your dedicated consultant immediately. We have a wide range of vacancies and will strive to find an alternative placement that better matches your needs. Flexibility works both ways.
