More Information
A skilled labourer is a worker who has acquired a skill through either formal training or experience. They are commonly hired to support construction and building projects, carrying out tasks such as plumbing, electrics, and floor installation.
Various forms of qualifications, such as an NVQ in a particular field, can count towards becoming a skilled labourer, but all candidates will need a Construction Skills Certification Scheme (CSCS) card. Apprenticeships offer another route into the role.
There is almost always a steady flow of skilled labourer jobs throughout the UK, however, there are more employment opportunities in major city areas than in rural areas. Both part time and full time jobs are available, and recruitment agencies that specialise in construction, trades and labour are typically favoured for finding qualified workers - although many multi-sector staffing agencies will also be suitable.
