Need a job quickly? Class 2 work is one of the fastest ways to get started – as long as you’ve got your license and relevant information, you can often start within 24–48 hours.

At CCR, we help people across the North East – Teesside, Sunderland, Durham, and more – get into temporary work fast, even if it’s your first time with an agency.

Here’s everything you need to know to get going.

You Don’t Need Tipper Experience To Start

Many job placements don’t require any previous experience on a tipper – we can cover the training on that. As long as you’re reliable, punctual, and willing to work hard, you’re in with a strong chance.

We’ll show you what’s expected on-site, can get you trained up and can even help you prepare for your first shift. Just make sure you have passed your relevant tests on your license.

Register with a Local Recruitment Agency

While big job boards can be overwhelming, registering with a local recruiter who specialises in industrial work means you’ll get matched quickly—and you’ll actually speak to a human.

At CCR, we meet every candidate, check your documents, and place you in jobs that suit your skills and availability.

Bring the Right ID and Be Job-Ready

You’ll need to show proof of your right to work in the UK. For most people, this means a valid passport or share code for settled/pre-settled status. Bringing this with you speeds up the process.

Other things that help:

Steel toe cap boots (some roles require them)
National Insurance number
Bank details (for getting paid!)

Be Flexible and Reliable

Temp roles can vary—some are short-term, others may lead to full-time work. Being available for different shifts (days, nights, weekends) gives you a big advantage.

Many of our workers are offered long-term roles or even permanent jobs after proving themselves.
