Contract job search FAQs

How do I find contract jobs that match my skills?

Use the search above to filter by keywords, location, sector, day rate, IR35 status and remote working. New contracts are added daily from across the UK.

What's the difference between inside and outside IR35 contracts?

Inside IR35 contracts are treated as employment for tax purposes, while outside IR35 contracts let you work through your limited company with more tax efficiency. Our board flags the IR35 status wherever the recruiter states it.

How much should I charge as a contractor?

Rates vary by role, experience and location. We normalise advertised rates to a day-rate equivalent so you can compare like for like, and our market rates guide has current benchmarks by skill.

Do I need professional indemnity insurance for contract work?

Most contracts require professional indemnity insurance. It protects you against claims of negligence or errors in your work. Many umbrella companies include it, or you can arrange it separately.

Should I use an umbrella company or a limited company?

Umbrella companies handle payroll, tax and admin for you. Limited companies give more control and tax efficiency but need more administration. The right choice usually depends on your IR35 status, and our calculators can help you compare take-home pay.
