Job Description
Phone Direct is partnering with several established construction firms and contractors across Chester to source diligent and safety-conscious Scaffolding Labourers. These roles are critical to the smooth operation of construction, refurbishment, and maintenance projects throughout the CH54 region and beyond. As a scaffolding labourer, you will be an integral part of a team responsible for the safe erection, modification, and dismantling of scaffolding structures, ensuring a secure working platform for all trades on site. Our clients range from large national contractors working on significant developments to local specialists handling commercial and residential projects, offering a variety of work environments and experiences.
Applying through Phone Direct gives you direct access to these immediate start opportunities without the hassle of applying to multiple companies individually. We act as your single point of contact, managing your timesheets, ensuring you are paid correctly and on time every week, and advocating for you with our client network. We understand the specific demands and opportunities within the Chester construction sector, including projects near the city centre, in industrial estates, and across the wider Cheshire area. By choosing Phone Direct, you’re not just finding a job; you’re gaining a recruitment partner dedicated to finding you the right fit, whether you’re looking for short-term assignments or a pathway to a permanent position.
Key Responsibilities
- Assist qualified scaffolders with the safe erection, alteration, and dismantling of tube and fitting scaffolding and system scaffolding under direct supervision.
- Handle, sort, and prepare scaffolding materials and components (boards, tubes, fittings, couplers) for the build, ensuring they are clean, serviceable, and transported safely around site.
- Maintain a clean, tidy, and hazard-free work area, ensuring all tools and materials are stored correctly and waste is disposed of as per site regulations.
- Adhere strictly to all health and safety protocols, including wearing full PPE (hard hat, hi-vis, safety boots, gloves), attending site inductions, and following method statements.
- Work effectively as part of a team, communicating clearly with scaffolders, site managers, and other trades to ensure efficient workflow and site safety.
What We're Looking For
- Previous experience as a Scaffolding Labourer or in a similar construction labouring role is highly desirable. A proven understanding of construction site environments is essential.
- A valid CSCS Card (any colour) is mandatory for access to most sites. A Labourer card (green) or a Scaffolder card (blue) is a significant advantage.
- A strong, unwavering commitment to health and safety. You must be physically fit, capable of manual handling, and comfortable working at height after appropriate training.
- A reliable, punctual, and professional attitude. Own transport is beneficial due to site locations across Chester and the wider CH54 area, though some sites may be accessible via public transport.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need my own tools for a Scaffolding Labourer role?
Generally, no. Most contractors will provide all necessary tools and equipment, including power tools and specialist scaffolder's tools. You are expected to provide your own basic Personal Protective Equipment (PPE): safety boots (with steel toe cap and midsole), hi-visibility vest/jacket, hard hat, and gloves. Some sites may provide gloves, but it's best to have your own.
I have a Green Labourer CSCS Card. Is that sufficient?
Yes, a Green Labourer CSCS Card is often the minimum requirement for a scaffolding labourer position. It proves you have passed the essential health, safety, and environment test for operatives. A Blue Skilled Worker card (which requires an NVQ) is required for qualified scaffolders but will make you a more attractive candidate for labouring roles as it shows a higher skill level.
What are the typical shift patterns for these roles in Chester?
Most construction sites in the Chester area operate on a standard Monday-to-Friday schedule, typically starting between 7:00 AM and 8:00 AM and finishing between 4:00 PM and 5:00 PM, with a 30-60 minute unpaid lunch break. Some projects may offer overtime on Saturdays, usually paid at a higher rate. We will always confirm the exact shift pattern before you start.
How long does the registration process with Phone Direct take?
We pride ourselves on speed. If you have all your documents (right to work, CSCS card, etc.) ready, the initial registration and compliance check can often be completed within one working day. For immediate starts, we aim to get you compliant and on site within 24-48 hours of your initial application, subject to client interview availability.
I live just outside Chester in the CH54 area. Will I be considered?
Absolutely. We actively recruit for roles across the entire Chester region, including the CH54 postcode area encompassing Neston, Little Neston, Parkgate, and surrounding villages. Many of our sites are on the outskirts or in industrial estates easily accessible from these locations. Please specify your location on your application.
Does Phone Direct offer any other types of jobs besides construction?
Yes, Phone Direct is a multi-sector recruitment agency. While we have strong specialisms in construction and industrial staffing, we also excel in office support, customer service, and call answering roles. For instance, we frequently recruit for Call Answering Service Jobs and have expertise in Recruitment Jobs in Leeds. We encourage you to explore our Services page to see our full range.
