Team Carer Agency: Specialist Recruitment for Physiotherapists, Occupational Therapists & Speech and Language Therapists
Connecting qualified allied health professionals with NHS trusts, private clinics, and community healthcare providers across the UK — 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.
The demand for skilled allied health professionals (AHPs) across the United Kingdom has never been greater. With an ageing population, growing long-term health conditions, and increasing pressure on NHS services, healthcare employers are in a constant race to source qualified physiotherapists, occupational therapists, and speech and language therapists — fast, reliably, and compliantly. Team Carer Agency exists to bridge precisely that gap.
As a dedicated allied health professional recruitment agency based in London, Team Carer Agency specialises in matching HCPC-registered therapists with temporary, contract, and permanent roles across NHS trusts, independent clinics, residential care homes, schools, and community health organisations throughout England. Whether you are a physiotherapist seeking locum work or an occupational health team needing a vetted, last-minute placement, Team Carer Agency delivers with speed and precision.
An allied health professional (AHP) recruitment agency specialises in sourcing, vetting, and placing qualified therapists — including physiotherapists, occupational therapists (OTs), and speech and language therapists (SaLTs) — into clinical settings. Team Carer Agency holds an active database of HCPC-registered professionals available for urgent, short-term, and long-term placements across the UK.

How We Staffed a London NHS Trust Physiotherapy Crisis in Under 48 Hours
A South-East London NHS Trust faced a sudden shortage of three Band 6 Musculoskeletal Physiotherapists after back-to-back absences during a high-demand winter period. Their internal bank was exhausted and outpatient waiting lists were growing rapidly.
Team Carer Agency's specialist AHP desk was contacted at 6:00 pm on a Tuesday. By Thursday morning, three fully HCPC-registered, DBS-cleared locum physiotherapists had commenced shifts — all at agreed rates within the Trust's framework agreement.
What Our Candidates & Clients Say
Team Carer Agency found me a Band 6 community OT role within two days of registering. The compliance process was smooth and the consultant kept me updated throughout. Highly recommend to any OT looking for locum work.
Occupational Therapist, Essex
Our SaLT service had a last-minute staffing crisis. Team Carer Agency mobilised a qualified, experienced speech therapist within 24 hours. The candidate was professional, compliant, and fit into our team seamlessly.
Clinical Manager, NHS Community Trust
