Job Description
We are seeking a skilled and reliable Painter and Decorator to join a busy team working on high-quality projects in the Liverpool L1 area. This role is ideal for a tradesperson who takes pride in their work, has an eye for detail, and can work efficiently to meet project deadlines. You will be working for a respected contractor who specialises in both commercial refurbishments and high-end residential properties, meaning no two days will be the same. This is a hands-on position requiring a full range of decorating skills, from surface preparation to the application of final finishes.
By applying through StaffDirect, you gain access to our extensive network of local employers. We act as your advocate, handling the paperwork, ensuring you get paid correctly and on time, and finding you the next assignment when this one finishes. We understand the local Liverpool job market inside out, just as we do for roles like a Forklift Driver in Croydon or a Warehouse Operative in Leicester. This immediate start role is a perfect example of the quality opportunities we source for our candidates.
Key Responsibilities
- Preparing surfaces to a high standard, including filling, sanding, smoothing, and sealing walls, woodwork, and other substrates.
- Applying paints, varnishes, stains, and wallpapers expertly to interior and exterior surfaces using brushes, rollers, and spray equipment.
- Masking and protecting areas not being decorated, including furniture, floors, and fittings, to ensure a clean and professional finish.
- Matching and mixing colours to specifications, understanding sheen levels, and ensuring consistency across all work.
- Maintaining a clean, safe, and organised work area, adhering to all health and safety regulations on-site, and ensuring all tools and equipment are cared for.
What We're Looking For
- Proven experience as a professional Painter Decorator, with a portfolio or references demonstrating high-quality work.
- Your own basic tools and a full understanding of surface preparation and application techniques for various paint and wallcovering types.
- A strong focus on quality, cleanliness, and attention to detail, with the ability to work independently and as part of a team.
- Reliability, punctuality, and a professional attitude. A valid CSCS card is highly advantageous, and you must have the right to work in the UK.
Salary & Benefits
We believe in rewarding skill and dedication fairly. For this Painter and Decorator position in Liverpool L1, we offer a highly competitive hourly pay rate, which will be discussed upon application and is based on your level of experience and qualifications. Pay is processed weekly, so you won't be left waiting. In addition to your pay, you'll benefit from:
- Weekly Pay: Get paid every Friday for the hours you've worked, without fail.
- Holiday Pay Accrual: Build up holiday pay in line with UK regulations.
- Ongoing Work: Performance on this assignment can lead to further placements across Liverpool, from city centre apartments to commercial projects.
- Temp-to-Perm Potential: Many of our temporary roles, like this one, have the scope to become permanent positions for the right candidate.
- Dedicated Support: You'll have a personal consultant from StaffDirect who is your point of contact for any queries, support, or to discuss your next role.

Frequently Asked Questions
How quickly can I start this Painter Decorator job in Liverpool L1?
We are looking for an immediate start. Once you apply, our process is designed for speed. If you have your right-to-work documents ready and pass a quick phone screening, you could potentially be starting within 24-48 hours. This is similar to our rapid placement service for Warehouse Jobs in London.
Do I need my own tools and transport?
For this role, you will need your own basic painting and decorating tools (brushes, rollers, scrapers, etc.). Specialist equipment like sprayers or scaffolding may be provided by the client. You are also expected to have reliable transport to get to and from sites in the Liverpool L1 area and its surrounds.
What is the difference between temporary and temp-to-perm?
A temporary role has a fixed end date or is ongoing but with no permanent guarantee. Temp-to-perm means you start on a temporary basis, but the client has the intention to hire you directly if your performance and fit are excellent. This role has clear temp-to-perm potential for the right candidate.
How and when do I get paid?
All StaffDirect workers are paid weekly, every Friday. You will submit your timesheet, we verify it with the client, and your pay, including any accrued holiday pay, is processed directly into your bank account. It's a reliable and transparent system used for all our roles, from Travel Nurses to tradespeople.
What safety standards are expected on site?
Health and safety is paramount. You must have a good understanding of safe working practices, including working at height, COSHH (Control of Substances Hazardous to Health) for paints and solvents, and general site safety. A valid CSCS card is a significant advantage and often required for larger sites.
Does StaffDirect only do trade jobs in Liverpool?
Not at all. While we are recruiting heavily for this Painter and Decorator role, StaffDirect is a full-service agency. We place professionals in a vast array of sectors across the UK. For example, we also help people find roles in healthcare, warehousing, administration, and hospitality. You can explore more about working with temp agencies on our blog.
