Scaffolder Jobs in Southampton SO15 | Immediate Start with Carer Agency
Carer Agency is urgently recruiting for a qualified and experienced Scaffolder for an immediate temporary-to-permanent placement in the Southampton SO15 area. This is a fantastic opportunity for a skilled tradesperson to secure ongoing work with a reputable agency, offering competitive pay, flexible shifts, and a clear path to a permanent role. If you hold a valid CISRS or equivalent card and are ready to start ASAP, we want to hear from you.
Scaffolder Job Description
Our client, a leading contractor on a major commercial and residential development project in the Southampton SO15 region, requires a diligent and safety-conscious Scaffolder to join their site team. This role is critical to ensuring the structural integrity and safety of temporary work platforms for other trades, including Plumber teams and finishing crews. Working with Carer Agency means you’ll be supported by a dedicated consultant who understands the local construction market, from CSCS Labourer jobs to specialist trade roles, ensuring you are matched with the right site and the best pay.
The successful candidate will be responsible for the erection, alteration, and dismantling of complex scaffolding structures in accordance with current safety regulations (SG4:22). This is not just a short-term gig; we are looking for individuals who view this as a career opportunity. Much like our approach to placing Temporary Construction Workers in Norwich, we focus on building lasting relationships between skilled workers and reputable employers. Your expertise will be valued, and your career progression taken seriously.
Key Responsibilities & Duties
As a Scaffolder on this project, your day-to-day tasks will be varied and essential to site progress. You will be expected to:
- Erect and dismantle scaffolding – Safely construct and take down a variety of scaffolding systems including independent tied scaffolds, birdcage scaffolds, and temporary roofs, strictly following design drawings and method statements.
- Conduct pre-use inspections – Perform thorough daily inspections of scaffolding equipment and structures before use, completing all necessary checklists and tagging systems to ensure 100% compliance with site safety standards.
- Liaise with site management – Work closely with site supervisors, foremen, and other trades such as Housekeeping Staff and Plumber teams to coordinate scaffold requirements and ensure work areas are safe and accessible.
- Maintain equipment and materials – Ensure all tubes, boards, fittings, and safety gear are stored correctly, are in good working order, and report any defects immediately to prevent accidents.
- Adhere to health & safety protocols – Be a champion for site safety. This includes strict adherence to Working at Height regulations (WAHR 2005), wearing correct PPE at all times, and participating in daily toolbox talks and site inductions.
- Mentor and support labourers – Provide guidance to appointed labourers or less experienced team members, promoting a culture of safety and best practice on the scaffold.
Essential Requirements & Qualifications
To be considered for this immediate Scaffolder position in Southampton, you must meet the following criteria. We value proven experience and a commitment to safety above all else.
- Valid CISRS Card – A current CISRS Scaffolder (Blue) or Advanced (Gold) card is essential. Evidence of Part 2 NVQ is highly advantageous.
- Proven Site Experience – Minimum of 2 years of hands-on experience erecting and dismantling scaffolding on commercial or large-scale residential projects.
- Strong Safety Knowledge – In-depth understanding of SG4:22, TG20:21, and all relevant health & safety legislation related to working at height and scaffolding operations.
- Reliable & Punctual – Must have a strong work ethic, own reliable transport to get to sites across Southampton SO15, and be available for an immediate start.
- Team Player – Excellent communication skills and the ability to work effectively as part of a team in a fast-paced construction environment.
Desirable Skills
Experience with system scaffolding (e.g., Cuplok, Kwikstage), PASMA certification for mobile towers, or a full UK driving licence would be beneficial and may be reflected in a higher pay rate.
Salary, Benefits & Why Choose Carer Agency

While the exact rate depends on your specific card level and experience, you can expect a highly competitive hourly or daily rate, paid weekly directly into your bank account.
