Job Description
Catering Jobs is urgently seeking a skilled and safety-conscious Scaffolder to join a major construction and refurbishment project in the heart of Camden NW1. This is a hands-on role for a professional who takes pride in building secure, compliant access structures for a variety of trades. You will be working as part of a dedicated team on a busy site, where precision, efficiency, and an unwavering commitment to health and safety regulations are paramount. The project involves both new build elements and the careful refurbishment of existing structures, requiring a versatile approach to scaffolding solutions. This position is perfect for a scaffolder who thrives in a fast-paced environment and is looking for an immediate start with a reputable agency that values its workers.
Our client is a well-established principal contractor with a strong portfolio of projects across London. By applying through Catering Jobs, you gain access to this exclusive opportunity without the hassle of searching multiple job boards. We manage the entire application process, from vetting your qualifications to ensuring you are site-ready with the correct documentation, including a valid CSCS card and any relevant scaffolding certifications. We understand the local market in Camden and can advise on transport links, typical site protocols, and the specific expectations of leading contractors. Just as we successfully place staff for major venues, we are experts at matching skilled tradespeople with the right projects.
Key Responsibilities
- Safely erect, alter, and dismantle a variety of scaffolding structures including independent, birdcage, and system scaffolds in accordance with design drawings and industry regulations (SG4:22).
- Conduct daily pre-use inspections of equipment, tools, and scaffold components, reporting any defects or damage to the site supervisor immediately.
- Work collaboratively with other trades on site, such as Traffic Marshal / Banksman operatives and general labourers, to ensure seamless site logistics and safety.
- Ensure all work areas are kept tidy, materials are stored correctly, and waste is managed efficiently to maintain a safe and productive site environment.
- Liaise with the site manager and foreman to understand project timelines, adapting scaffolding plans as required to support the critical path of construction activities.
What We're Looking For
- Proven experience as a Scaffolder on UK construction sites, with solid references.
- A valid CISRS or recognised scaffolding card and a mandatory CSCS card. A PASMA card for mobile access towers is highly advantageous.
- Comprehensive knowledge of health and safety legislation, including Working at Height regulations, and a genuine safety-first mindset.
- Physical fitness, reliability, and the ability to work effectively as part of a team in all weather conditions. Own basic tools and PPE are required.
Salary & Benefits
We believe in rewarding skill and dedication fairly. For this Scaffolder in Camden NW1 role, we offer a highly competitive hourly pay rate, which will be discussed upon application and is based on your level of experience, qualifications, and the specific requirements of the shift. Pay is processed weekly, providing you with regular and reliable income.
Your Package Includes:
- Weekly pay via a transparent PAYE or Umbrella payment system.
- Holiday pay accrued in line with statutory requirements.
- The opportunity for ongoing work and potential temp-to-perm conversion based on performance.
- Access to a dedicated Catering Jobs consultant who provides localised support for Camden and North West London.
- A straightforward and fast registration process to get you on site quickly.
Whether you're seeking a long-term career move or a flexible temporary position, we structure our benefits to support your goals. Our agency is built on trust, much like the relationships we foster with candidates for specialised roles such as a Pharmacy Assistant / Technician in Liverpool L3 or a Site Operative in Southampton SO15.

Frequently Asked Questions
What qualifications do I need to be a Scaffolder in Camden NW1?
The absolute minimum requirement is a valid CSCS Card. To work as a qualified scaffolder, you will typically need a CISRS (Construction Industry Scaffolders Record Scheme) card, such as a 'Trainee', 'Scaffolder', or 'Advanced' card. Many sites in Camden also require a PASMA card for working with mobile access towers and a full understanding of safety guidance like SG4:22. If you're unsure about your qualifications, contact our team – we can often advise on training routes.
How quickly can I start after applying?
For candidates with all documentation in order (CV, cards, right-to-work proof), we aim for an incredibly fast turnaround. It is possible to be interviewed, registered, and on site within 48-72 hours for an 'ASAP start' role like this one. The speed depends on your immediate availability and the client's induction schedule.
Is this a PAYE or umbrella company role?
We offer both PAYE and reputable umbrella company payment options. During your registration, our team will explain the differences, including how holiday pay, tax, and National Insurance are handled under each model, so you can choose the option that best suits your circumstances.
What kind of projects will I be working on in Camden NW1?
Camden is a hub of development. Projects range from major commercial refurbishments and new residential blocks to heritage building restoration and infrastructure work around transport hubs like Kings Cross and St Pancras. As a scaffolder, you could be working on anything from a small shop front to a large-scale apartment complex.
Do you have other construction roles apart from Scaffolding?
Absolutely. Catering Jobs places talent across the built environment. We frequently recruit for Traffic Marshal / Banksman in Blackburn BB1 roles, general labourers, forklift drivers, and warehouse operatives. We also staff skilled trades in other sectors, so it's worth registering with us even if you're open to different types of work.
Can I apply if I live outside Camden but can travel?
Yes, many of our workers commute into Camden from surrounding boroughs and even from outside London. As long as you can reliably get to the site for the required start times (often 7:30 or 8:00 am), your application will be considered. Be sure to mention your travel plans during your initial call with us.
