Temporary Employment Agency
What is it?
Our Temporary employment agency (TEA) is similar to a high street recruitment agency – but purely for Southampton City Council. It is a register of workers who are available to provide cover for short term and temporary assignments within council services.
Work is on a casual basis and can be for different lengths of time in a variety of roles, for example, to cover holidays, maternity leave, or volume of work. Hours of work can be full time or part-time depending on the requirement.
Our assignments can be anything from two weeks to six months. The work available will be in a variety of service areas and locations in and around Southampton. Sometimes these assignments can be very short notice.
Why join the TEA?
- To gain experience and skills in interesting and varied assignments
- For our competitive rates of pay (based on the role profile for the work being undertaken)
- To accrue holiday pay when you work
- It is an exciting opportunity to work in a local public service organisation
- It can suit your availability and the hours you wish to work
