What You Will Get

  • Competitive Pay: Earn £16+ per hour or project-based fees depending on the complexity of the inspection.
  • Flexibility: Choose assignments that fit your schedule while maintaining a healthy work-life balance.
  • Training and Resources: Receive initial guidance, templates, and tools to perform inspections effectively.
  • Professional Independence: Operate as a self-employed contractor with the freedom to manage your workload and methods.
  • Valuable Experience: Work with a growing property management company and expand your expertise in the field.

What We Are Not Responsible For

  • As a self-employed contractor, you are responsible for managing your own taxes, insurance, and compliance with UK self-employment regulations.
  • Karnani does not provide employee benefits such as holiday pay, sick pay, or pensions.
  • We will not withhold taxes or National Insurance contributions.
