Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
While previous warehouse experience is a strong advantage, it is not always essential for entry-level roles. We place high value on reliability, a strong work ethic, physical fitness, and a willingness to learn. For MHE (forklift) roles, valid, in-date certification is mandatory. We provide manual handling briefings, and full site-specific training is given by the client. If you're new to the sector, highlight any transferable skills from other manual, retail, or team-based jobs in your application.
For roles marked"Immediate Start," the process is designed for speed. If you have all your right-to-work documents (e.g., passport, share code) ready and are available immediately, it is possible to be registered, vetted, and placed within 24-48 hours of your initial application. The speed depends on how quickly we can complete your compliance checks and schedule a quick call with you. The key is to apply promptly and respond quickly to our consultant's calls or emails.
Always wear sturdy, enclosed footwear (steel-toe cap boots are often required and may be provided, but bring your own on day one to be safe). Wear comfortable, durable clothing you don't mind getting dirty (e.g., jeans/trousers, t-shirt, jumper). Avoid loose jewellery. Bring any safety footwear if you have it, a photo ID, your National Insurance number, and a packed lunch/water bottle unless informed otherwise. Your consultant will confirm specific client requirements before you start.
Yes, absolutely. Many of our temporary assignments are used by clients as an extended interview process. If you demonstrate a strong work ethic, reliability, and fit well with the team, there is a high likelihood of being offered a permanent contract by the client. We actively encourage and facilitate this temp-to-perm pathway. It's a fantastic way to prove your value without the pressure of a traditional interview process. Make sure to express your interest in permanent opportunities to your Carer Agency consultant.
You are paid weekly via PAYE, meaning tax and National Insurance are deducted at source. You will receive a payslip detailing your hours, pay rate, deductions, and accrued holiday pay. In line with UK law, you accrue holiday pay for every hour you work. This pot of money can be paid to you when you take approved holiday or, more commonly for temporary workers, as a payment when your assignment ends. Your consultant will explain your specific pay schedule and how to request holiday pay.
