This could be your opportunity to explore a new work environment. In our experience temporary work often leads to a permanent position and can be an invaluable way to learn new skills, evaluate a potential job or employer.

Committing to a temporary position can enhance your CV and improve your skills. SRA are committed to their staff and ensure that training is provided, when required, before placement into a temporary position.

We pay staff weekly for temporary assignments. We will keep in touch with you with regards to any changes in your role and act to ensure that all is going well. We can also provide in house specialist training for long term placements if required, so you continue to learn new skills during your placements.

After you have applied, we will find a suitable position for you.

We will make sure that you are fully trained and have all the specifications for the role, including working hours, location and salary.

You are always welcome to get in touch with us if you have any questions or concerns.

Yes, to work in an education or health and social care setting you will require an enhanced disclosure and barring services (DBS) check prior to work.

If you already have a DBS we will need your permission to check your registered enhanced DBS online before you start work.

You can register for an enhanced DBS via the government website here.

We strongly encourage everyone who requires a DBS to work to register it online, so that you do not have to pay for a new one annually.

If your current DBS is not registered online, you will need a new one to be issued before starting work. Please inform us if you require a new DBS and the link to apply for a DBS will be sent to you.
You can check the progress of your application by entered your DBS applicant form reference here.

Your DBS must include all the names on your passport or birth certificate, including any middle names.

When your DBS is issued you have 14 days to register your DBS online with the DBS update service.

Register your DBS with the update service and enter the details requested.

If your DBS has not been issued, as you are in the process of getting your enhanced DBS check, you will need your application reference number (called the ‘form ref’) on your application form.

This will cost £13 per year and can be paid with a debit or credit care (there is no charge if you are a volunteer).

Once registered you will receive a unique C code, this is unique to you and is required to renew your DBS annually.

We pay staff in temporary assignments on a weekly basis. Please submit an electronic timesheet with the location name, the hours worked, shift schedule and the authorising manager, by email before 10:00 the following Monday.

We will process your timesheet and you will receive payment the Friday following the week you worked. You will receive a payslip by email on Thursday before payment to review. We will request your bank details on registration.

After registration, if you have a P45 from your last employer or Job Centre in the current tax year please make it available so that the correct tax code will be applied to your wages initially.

You are entitled to holiday pay, a maximum of 28 days in one financial year, your holiday year runs from your first assignment until the end of the financial year the following April.

Please inform us of your intention to take your holiday 2 weeks before and if you are on temporary assignment. Email your holiday pay requests a minimum of 1 week before you would like the payment to be made.

After 12 weeks in the same assignment, ‘’the qualifying period’’, temporary workers are entitled to equal treatment. This means that as a temporary worker the terms and conditions of your employment must not be less favourable than a permanent employee doing the same or largely similar work for the company. This applies to the rates of pay and holiday pay.
We will inform you when you have reached your 12-week period, as this is dependent on parameters such as working in the same role, for example assistant support worker or support worker for a period of 12-weeks without a 6 week absence.

You will be automatically enrolled on the employee pension scheme, if you do not wish to be enrolled, please inform us in writing and you will be removed.
