Why use Trade Connection?

Get contract work more easily.

Using Trade Connection you can meet new trade businesses to contract to, increasing the pool of people you can go to for work.

We don't take a percentage of your charge out rate making it fairer, cheaper & faster due to the direct nature of bookings.

How do I get started looking for contract work?

1) Create a free Contractor Account.

2) Fill in your profile - add your skills, qualifications, LBP status & set your charge out rate.

3) Set the days that you are available to work up to 3 months in advance.

4) Now you are visible to trade businesses who are looking for workers to help out on their site.

5) You will get an email to notify you of bookings & usually a phone call from the trade business to let you know the site location.

How do I get paid?

After the work is done, you send the trade business an invoice for your time, just like you usually would.

What about work outside of Trade Connection?

Simply update your calendar on Trade Connection to be unavailable for those days.

What if I'm sick?

Call up the person who booked you and let them know, just like you usually would.

Their number is on the Bookings page.
