Although the political climate in the UK is more stable now the general election is over—we’re still not sure what effects Brexit will have on the job market. As a result, it’s understandable that you may be concerned about applying for jobs, whether you’re a UK-based or international worker. Today, we’ll address your concerns and talk temping in London.
Throw away your preconceived ideas
At the moment, we know that Brexit uncertainty has impacted recruitment—and in times of political uncertainty, recruiters often turn their attention to temping. While they may be concerned about hiring on a permanent basis, they need to keep going and maintain their productivity until things are more stable. This means it’s a great time for temporary jobs in London and throughout the UK.
This is reassuring for all the Aussies, Kiwis, and other nationalities looking to temp in London. There are plenty of vacancies in worthwhile roles, be it office support jobs, personal assistants, or something a little different. It’s also great news for UK workers who are looking to further their career or move on. You can find out more about why temping in London is good for your career here.

What do our temps think?
Dan, an Aussie temp, says: “I was worried about Brexit and working opportunities, but I haven’t been unemployed since I arrived nearly 14 months ago thanks to temp work.”
Rose, a career temp, told us: “It’s actually never been better for great career opportunities! I’ve got more choice now than I had 4-5 years ago, and the positions that were reserved for permanent staff only are now being advertised for temps.”
Jack, a finance temp, added: “I agree, but I do think it depends on the sector a bit. For example, there are loads of positions available in the finance sector. It’s also a lot about office support role—those are the temps that seem to be in demand.”
