Job Description
Are you a reliable, hard-working individual seeking immediate General Labourer work in London N1? Recruitment Agency London is actively recruiting for a major facilities and construction support client based in the heart of Islington. This is a hands-on, physically demanding role that is essential to the smooth operation of commercial refurbishment and maintenance projects across the N1 postcode. Our client, a respected contractor serving the commercial and retail sectors, requires a dedicated labourer to join their team on a temporary basis with a strong view to a permanent position for the right candidate. This is a fantastic opportunity for someone who takes pride in their work, enjoys variety, and wants to build a career in the construction and facilities sector.
As a specialist General Labourer agency in London, we understand the local market. The N1 area, encompassing Angel, Hoxton, and Shoreditch, is a hub for development and renovation. This role offers the chance to work on high-profile sites, gain valuable experience, and be part of a dynamic team. Whether you're looking for a long-term career move or consistent temporary work, registering with Recruitment Agency London gives you access to the best labouring jobs in the capital. We also have a wide range of other immediate start roles across London, from Warehouse Jobs in London to specialised Facilities Management Jobs.
Key Responsibilities
- Assisting tradespeople on-site with a variety of manual tasks including loading, unloading, and moving materials, tools, and equipment safely and efficiently.
- Maintaining a clean, tidy, and safe worksite at all times, including sweeping, clearing debris, and managing waste disposal in accordance with site regulations.
- Basic preparation work such as mixing materials, moving scaffolding components, and assisting with setting up and breaking down work areas.
- Following all health and safety protocols rigorously, including wearing correct PPE, understanding site-specific safety briefings, and contributing to a culture of safety.
- Supporting the site team with general duties as required, demonstrating flexibility and a proactive, can-do attitude to ensure project timelines are met.
What We're Looking For
- Proven experience as a General Labourer, Construction Operative, or in a similar manual role. A valid CSCS card is highly desirable but not essential for the right candidate – we can advise on obtaining one.
- Physical fitness and stamina to perform demanding manual tasks throughout a full shift, including lifting, carrying, and being on your feet for extended periods.
- A strong, demonstrable commitment to health and safety. You must be reliable, punctual, and have a positive, team-oriented work ethic.
- The right to work in the UK. A full, clean UK driving licence is advantageous but not mandatory for this specific N1-based role.

For this General Labourer position in London N1, we offer a highly competitive hourly rate, typically between £13.50 and £16.50 per hour, depending on your specific experience, shift patterns, and any relevant tickets or certifications you hold.

For a General Labourer, this means a consistent and diverse range of work opportunities. The area is a blend of historic building refurbishment, new commercial developments, and ongoing facilities maintenance for the many offices, retail spaces, and residential complexes. Transport links are excellent, with multiple Underground stations (Angel, Old Street, King's Cross) and bus routes, making it easily accessible from across London. This makes it an ideal location for labourers living in North, East, or Central London.
The demand for skilled, reliable labour in N1 remains high throughout the year.

This variety ensures that no two days are the same, offering fantastic on-the-job learning and experience building. For those looking to progress, the experience gained on N1 sites is highly regarded. It's also worth noting that the skills you develop here are transferable to many other in-demand roles we recruit for, such as Pickers and Packers in logistics or Facilities Management positions.

Frequently Asked Questions
What experience do I need to apply for this General Labourer role in N1?

If you have experience in warehouse or event crew work, many of the skills are transferable.
Do I need my own PPE (Personal Protective Equipment)?

This specific General Labourer role in London N1 is initially temporary, but it is with a client who frequently offers temp-to-perm contracts to workers who demonstrate skill, reliability, and a good fit with the team. Many of our temporary placements lead to longer-term opportunities.
