FAQ

What are the advantages of contract jobs?

Contract jobs offer flexibility, higher earning potential, and the chance to work on diverse projects across different industries. They allow contractors to gain experience quickly, expand their network, and often provide more control over work-life balance compared to permanent roles.

How do I find high-quality contract jobs in the UK?

To secure the best contract jobs, use a specialised job board that sources roles from multiple platforms, including recruitment agencies and direct employers. Setting up job alerts and optimising your contractor CV can also help you land contract opportunities faster.

Are contract jobs better than permanent roles?

It depends on your career goals. Contract jobs often come with higher pay rates and more flexibility but may lack job security and benefits. If you prefer variety and autonomy in your work, contracting can be a great option.

Do contract jobs require specific qualifications?

The requirements for contract jobs vary by industry. Some roles, especially in IT, finance, and engineering, require industry-specific qualifications or certifications. However, many contract positions prioritise experience and technical skills over formal education.

How do taxes work for contract jobs in the UK?

Taxes for contract jobs depend on whether you work Inside IR35 or Outside IR35. Contractors working Inside IR35 are taxed similarly to employees, while those Outside IR35 can use a limited company for potential tax advantages.
