Offer description

Self-Employed Fencing Labourers Required

We are looking for reliable self-employed fencing labourers with practical on-site experience to support ongoing local authority repair and maintenance works.

This role is primarily repair-based work rather than high-end residential installs, so we're looking for people who are competent, efficient and can crack on without hand-holding.

Requirements

* Minimum 2 years' experience working on fencing projects
* General fencing knowledge, including repairs and replacements
* Full UK driving licence preferred
* CSCS preferred but not essential
* Clean DBS, or willingness to obtain one
* Valid photo ID
* No criminal record

Role overview

* Assist with fencing repairs and replacements on LA contracts
* Dig out and replace posts and panels
* Use hand and power tools safely
* Load, unload and move materials on site
* Keep work areas tidy and safe
* Follow job specifications and site instructions

What matters to us

* Reliability and punctuality, works are scheduled with councils in advance
* Ability to work at a steady, consistent pace
* Willingness to take instruction and work as part of a team
* Practical attitude and basic problem-solving skills

Pay

* Day rate based on experience
* Weekly pay
* CIS only
* One week in hand
* Invoice required before cut-off with correct CIS deduction

This keeps expectations realistic, filters out time-wasters, and doesn't dress the role up as something it isn't.

If you want, next step I can:

* Strip this down further for Facebook
* Make a harder, no-nonsense version
* Or add a short "who this is NOT for" section to self-select out the wrong people

and can crack on without hand-holding. - So unprofessional

Agreed. Bin it. That phrase makes you sound fed up, not in control.

Here's the cleaned, professional replacement, same meaning, zero attitude.
