We require the following paperwork in order for you to temp through Lavender Jones:
- Temp Personal Details and Bank Form (we pay directly into your bank account 1 week following your assignment).
- P45/P46 (you need to get your P45 from your previous employer. If you are unable to get a P45 you will need to fill out a P46).
- Temp Contract
- Timesheet (Please fill in at the end of the week or the assignment. Total up your hours noting how long you took for lunch. Timesheets can be emailed to info@lavenderjones.co.uk).
- Stay in touch with us on a weekly basis. If possible, call us on a Monday with your availability for that week.
- Inform us if you have accepted a permanent position and are therefore no longer available.
- Dress code – we will inform you of the suitable attire/dress code for each assignment. The majority of assignments require a smart dress code.
- Arrive 10 minutes early for your assignment, but no longer.
- Make sure you know exactly where you are going and have figured out how to get there and how long the journey takes (citymapper.com is a useful website/app to help with journey planning).
- Check that there are no delays on your chosen method of transport (check on tfl.gov.uk).
- If you are running late, inform Lavender Jones so we can let the client know.
- If you feel unwell, inform us by 8.30am so that we can provide a replacement.
- Research the firm you will be temping at and make yourself familiar with the job description.
- Make sure you know who to report to.
- Make sure you send your time sheet to your temp consultant and that it is signed by a member of staff. This should either be on a Friday afternoon before leaving work or on the last day of your assignment if this happens to be on another day.
- Update your CV with the relevant information from each temp assignment.
- Show initiative and be proactive. Don’t wait for work to be given to you. Ask if you can help with anything if you are not given any tasks.
- Do not use your phone during office hours and do not use the internet for personal reasons. Make sure your phone is switched off or on silent during office hours.
- When interviewing for permanent roles please try to keep these interviews to first or last thing or lunchtimes in order to limit disruption to your temp assignment.
