We’re not a fan of the name of this generic category, but it’s universally recognised so we’re going with it.
We aren’t looking for a pat on the back, but we have experience of successfully managing large volume contracts in manufacturing, warehouse and the Waste sectors, some delivered through our on-site service.
However, be rest assured we also value working with our smaller, more local businesses too, providing temps for those short term, ad hoc or seasonal needs.
It’s hard to nail down this as a sector as nearly all industries and businesses have great office based people.
We generally don’t like lists as they seem so generic and don’t capture all the creative job titles of the temporary and permanent vacancies we support on, however, here goes anyway; -Administration - Customer Service -Sales & Account Management - Legal & Financial Support -Secretarial & PA Marketing -Engineering & Technical -Production Management

BIG ANT Healthcare truly came through when we found ourselves in a pinch, desperately needing a temporary healthcare assistant at the eleventh hour. Their responsiveness and dedication to meeting our urgent needs were truly impressive. Thanks to them, we were able to maintain the high level of care our patients deserve, even in the face of unexpected challenges. We now turn to them as our preferred partner. Peter

From the get-go, they understood my skills and preferences, and they've always matched me with assignments that suit me. Their communication is great, they pay me bang on time with no hiccups and they've always been there to support me. Molly
