You may wish to consider working on a contract basis. This can be achieved through a number of means but the most common in the Pharmaceutical industry seem to be working as either a Limited company contractor or working through an Umbrella company.

There are a number of reasons why CK Clinical are one of the best companies to work with for subcontractors the primary one being our level of candidate care, another our frank, honest and candid approach but one of the major reasons for a number of people is the fact that we pay our subcontractors more quickly than other agencies. We endeavor to turn around your invoices within 48 hours and do regular payment runs for our subcontractors at the beginning of every week. This means that unlike most agencies that will make you wait up to 30 days or more to receive payments, CK Clinical make sure that your money is in your account sooner.

Before choosing to work as a subcontractor though you should consider a number of things that include but are not limited to:

• Are you truly providing a consultancy service
• Does your contract cover what is to be achieved and not how it is to be achieved
• Are you providing any of your own equipment
• Do you have more than one customer that uses your services
• Do you have the flexibility to determine your working hours and conditions

We suggest that you seek some professional advice from an accountant before pursuing your contract on this basis. If you are satisfied that you are eligible to work this way, CK Clinical will go through all of your options for you. We will even give you FREE access to our self billing service to minimise your administration and paperwork.
