Day-rate work with verified traders who need a pair of hands.
LabourLynx is part of Tradelynx, the verified-trades platform. Register as a worker for free, share your tickets and availability, and build a portable record of jobs done that follows you between contractors. Traders post shifts with Tradelynx Pro, which is free until Tradelynx is HMRC-recognised, plus three months.

Post a shiftWhy LabourLynx
1 · Profile, set up once
Share your contact details, tickets (CSCS, etc.) and availability once. Traders search the pool and see what you’ve uploaded. ID and right-to-work checks happen between you and the trader who hires you for a specific shift. Tradelynx doesn’t verify these on your behalf.
2 · Day-rate transparency
Find work from verified traders in your area. Day-rate transparency before you accept.
3 · Portable record
Your work history follows you across the platform. A permanent record that helps you build trust with the next trader who needs you.
