Whichever option you choose our approved umbrella, and accountancy, partners can help you and support you with; contractor insurance, getting an HSE passport, and health, safety, and environment training if required.
Our Placement Process
If you accept an assignment through us, our Contractor Care team will get in touch to; provide you with access to the our online time management system, go through the onboarding process, explain how to use the system, and answer any questions. After you are placed with us, your consultant will organise regular check-ins throughout your placement from beginning, middle and end to ensure everything is going smoothly and answer any questions you may have throughout the process.
Your consultant not only checks in with you throughout your contract, but also with the client to understand the project deadlines and any future projects they may have in the pipeline. This means that once your contract has ended, sometimes there is the option to extend the contract or start another contract with the same client. If you decide to move on to something different our team can also help you find your next contract.
