Frequently Asked Questions
We are looking for candidates with proven experience in a professional kitchen environment, such as a restaurant, hotel, or contract catering facility. While formal chef qualifications are beneficial, hands-on experience as a Cook, Commis Chef, or Kitchen Assistant is essential. A valid Food Hygiene Certificate (Level 2) is a mandatory requirement for all our kitchen placements. If you have experience in high-volume settings, such as those sometimes needed for large-scale industrial workforce catering, this is highly relevant.
We specialise in immediate starts. For candidates with all documentation ready (right to work, certificates, references), the process from application to first shift can often be completed within 48-72 hours. We streamline our vetting to get you to work fast, a service we're known for across sectors, from construction staffing to hospitality. The speed depends on your availability for a quick registration interview and the specific requirements of the client.
We offer a wide range of flexibility. Shifts can include early mornings, late evenings, weekends, and split shifts to suit different kitchen operations. Contracts are primarily temporary, offering short-term cover or seasonal work, but many have a strong temp-to-perm potential for reliable and skilled Cooks. This flexible model is similar to what we offer for temporary jobs in other fields, giving you variety and control over your work-life balance.
You will be paid an hourly rate, agreed upon before you start any assignment. Pay is processed weekly, and you will receive a detailed payslip. In addition to your hourly wage, you accrue holiday pay in line with UK statutory requirements. This pay is calculated as a percentage of your earnings and can be paid out when you take holiday or at the end of your assignment. Our process is transparent and reliable, just as it is for all our workers, including our staff in permanent recruitment roles.
Absolutely. labourer.agency is a multi-sector recruitment specialist. While we are currently recruiting Cooks, we consistently have vacancies for Site Cleaners, Accounts Assistants, warehouse operatives, general labourers, and event staff across Glasgow. We also place professionals in sectors like healthcare and construction.
