UK Employment
Speaking From Experience
With 29 years experience (eek!) in the international recruitment industry between us, most of which were placing Aussies and Kiwis in London jobs, we know exactly how things work and what you need to do to make the most of your working in the UK experience.
Recruiters still play an integral role in the placement of contract and permanent staff into organisations. And there are still some key industries that love the hardworking yet laid back attitude of the Aussies and Kiwis. Employers are often willing to give someone a go, even without previous experience, if they have the right attitude. So hold on to that Antipodean approach and you’ll have little to worry about.
Nonetheless, we believe that there is plenty you can do to maximise your ability to get a job in the UK. So use this section to help create the career experience you’re after.
whether you are looking for help with writing your resume, need introductions to UK recruitment companies in your field, are looking to secure a live in arrangement before you leave Australia / NZ, or need to secure your UK trade accreditations, we can help!
From our in-house UK Career Service to the classic working holiday experience of working in an English pub and the sort after Nanny or Au Pair program, (which we are now offering placements in the USA, Canada, South Africa and throughout most of Europe) to great trade roles, you’ll find what you’re looking for below:
