This means we handle your payroll, ensure you're paid correctly and on time (weekly), manage your holiday pay accrual (if PAYE), and provide ongoing support. You'll be working on our client's site, but you have the security and administrative backing of a established recruitment agency. For permanent roles, we act as an introducer between you and the end employer.
I'm a Joiner but also have experience in facilities maintenance. Can I be considered for both?
Absolutely. We specialise in matching transferable skills. Many of our Joiner in Milton Keynes MK8 candidates have skills in general maintenance, plumbing basics, or decorating.

This makes you eligible for a wider range of our Facilities Management jobs as well as pure joinery roles, increasing your chances of a quick placement.
What is the typical duration of a temporary Joiner assignment?
Durations vary. This specific project is slated for 6-9 months. However, we have assignments ranging from short-term cover (a few weeks) to long-term contracts (12+ months).
