Part-time work is a permanent position that has a reduced number of hours/days throughout the week. A part-time roles hours will be custom to support the client in the best way and may be flexible to suit your availability also. It could be 1, 2 or 3 full days a week, 5 half days or anything in between.
A temporary role is usually a full time job (37.5 hours a week) for a short-term period. The length of the placement is set in advance for the clients’ needs but can be extended based on the demand. We occasionally take on temp roles which are on a part-time basis or an odd day here and there but this is less common.
