Man and van jobs in Manchester: your payout shown first
Run a van in Greater Manchester? Customers book fixed-price moves on Movesmith, and verified operators near the pickup are offered the job with their payout on screen.
Will I get work?
Work depends on customer demand, your area, availability and suitability for each move. Joining does not guarantee jobs or a weekly income. You can see the complete fixed supplier payout and requirements before deciding whether to accept an offer.
How offers, approval and fees work
Portal access lets you prepare your details. Movesmith reviews your evidence and gives final approval, and current job-eligibility checks still apply. These are separate steps. Approval does not create customer demand.
Suitable suppliers receive offers in ranked groups. Jobs not accepted through those offers can then appear on the job board for eligible suppliers. You can decline before accepting. Acceptance still depends on the job's current checks.
There are no lead or subscription fees. Movesmith's platform commission is part of the job's commercial split; the complete supplier payout is shown before you accept. You do not pay simply to wait for work.
Keep your operating area, vehicle and crew capacity, evidence and availability accurate and current. These help us identify suitable jobs, but cannot guarantee offers.
Moves in Manchester
Manchester moves tend to mix city-centre apartment blocks, with lifts and loading bays to book, and terraced streets across the surrounding boroughs. Knowing your own patch is the edge you bring.
Jobs customers can book here
Apartment moves
Flats in converted mills and newer blocks, often with a lift slot or loading bay to work around.

Room-by-room moves and small flat loads around the universities, usually one or two van trips.
