Benefits of being a temporary contractor
You choose which contract assignments you take and how many days each week you work.
There are three different ways to be paid as a contractor:Â Self-Employed/Freelance, Limited Company, and PAYE via an umbrella company. Compare the options with our guide to payment methods
Contracting as Self-Employed/Freelance, or through a Limited Company can make you more tax-efficient, as you can claim business expenses before paying tax.
Contracting often means you can earn more than in a permanent role. You’ll get paid weekly, and we guarantee at least 8 hours of work per day.
You have the chance to work in a variety of businesses. No politics!
After a qualifying period, our contractors gain access to free IMI-approved training, including EV, ADAS, Air-Con, and MOT Annual Training & Assessment.
You’re never on your own! Our friendly, experienced Contracts Managers are always here to support you.
We only contract you for lighter duties. You will not be expected to take on heavy technician work such as clutches or gearboxes.
