People choose to take the contracting route for different reasons. Some elect
to contract by choice, valuing the variety of work, independence and
interaction with a number of different employers that contracting provides,
others contract out of necessity as they cannot secure a full time
position and therefore bridge the Permanent employment gap by taking a
contract role. There is perhaps a third group who wish to broaden their
skill set by taking time out of a Permanent role and taking a series of contracts before moving back into Permanent employment.
Whatever your reason for wishing to contract our experienced recruitment
consultants can help, not just with finding a suitable contract but by
providing help and advice concerning for example whether you should trade
through a Limited or Umbrella Company or whether a PAYE status would be more
suitable. If contracting is unfamiliar to you then some of the processes can
seem daunting. Rest assured that our consultants will guide you smoothly
through this administrative process and will always be available to answer
any queries you may have. All of our systems are rigorously monitored by our
team of ISO9001 assessors to ensure we deliver the highest level of
professional service to our contractors.
In the event that you are seeking to contract only until you secure a
Permanent role then our consultants, working hand in hand with their
colleagues within the Permanent side of Jonathan Lee Recruitment, are well
placed to assist you in this regard also.
Throughout your time with us our aim will always be to help you find your
perfect contract and ensure you are fully supported throughout it's duration.
