Working with temporary Address
Options

Hi - I put up a post in the employment section on friday, but perhaps it might be better to ask here.
I am looking for temporary employment for 2 / 3 months in a different area from where I normally live. This is to be nearer a family member, who will be staying hospital for a few months. I am wondering whether there would be problems if i join an employment agency and give them my new address, and those details were different from my banking / electoral register address? Is my address from the tax code and national insurance matched somehow to my bank address by credit check places? I don't want to change address details for a few months (which can affects credit rating) but i also don't want to have 2 postcodes linked to my name flagging me up as potentially fraudulent either.
Hopefully i'm overthinking this - any thoughts or advice here would be much appreciated.
Thanks in advance
Norm

Just use your home address for all purposes. You'll find that employers and agencies use email and mobile numbers for most purposes.
If it comes up with the employer / agency, just explain that you'll be staying with family whilst working.This is a system account and does not represent a real person. To contact the Forum Team email forumteam@moneysavingexpert.com0 -
Yep - thanks Heng - that makes sense. I was going round in circles with the best thing to do, but what you suggest would work fine! On my CV i have my temporoary address, but I'll explain to agencies that my home address would be more suitable.
Thanks for your help
