Temporary Graduate jobs

Ai Powered

Temporary graduate pay varies by sector and location. Administrative and education support roles often start at hourly rates around entry level, with London typically paying more than regional markets. Technical placements in engineering or construction can offer higher hourly rates, especially for roles involving site work or unsocial hours. Expect standard office hours in HR and sales, with occasional overtime around deadlines or campaigns; education and construction may include early starts, and shift patterns can apply on projects. Many candidates use temporary roles to step into permanent positions such as Project Coordinator, HR Advisor, Account Executive or Site Engineer. jobwise data can help you benchmark pay, highlight high-paying employers and uncover roles with clear progression pathways.
