We offer ad-hoc bank shifts for maximum flexibility, part-time contracts (2-3 shifts per week), and full-time, block-booked placements.

Yes, a significant number of our temporary placements evolve into permanent contracts. This"temp-to-perm" pathway is popular with both clients and candidates, as it allows for a mutual assessment period without long-term commitment. If you excel in your temporary role and the client has a permanent vacancy, we will facilitate the transition, often with the agency fee waived for the employer. It's a fantastic way to secure a permanent position.
