Jobs Hiring Immediately in the UK

Sectors that hire quickly include warehousing and logistics, care, cleaning, hospitality, retail, delivery driving, security and customer service. Many of these roles accept people with little or no experience and provide training on the first day, so you can start working before you have built up a long CV. Temporary and agency roles are also a fast route into work and often become permanent.

The jobs on this page mention urgent hiring or an immediate start, and the newest vacancies appear first. Because employers want to fill these roles fast, they may close the advert as soon as they have enough applicants, so it pays to apply the same day you see a role you like.

To start quickly you will need to show that you have the right to work in the UK, usually with a passport or share code, and provide references or contact details for referees. Care and some other roles also need a DBS check, which can take a little longer. Having your documents ready, a CV that is up to date and your phone switched on will help you move from application to first shift as fast as possible.

Make it easy for an employer to say yes. State in your profile or cover note that you are available to start immediately, list the days and shifts you can work, and include a phone number you will answer. Quick, clear replies to employer messages often decide who gets the first shift.
