Frequently Asked Questions
We recruit for a wide spectrum of nursing roles across the Cambridge region. This includes Registered General Nurses (RGN) for medical/surgical wards, A&E, ITU, and care homes. We also place Registered Mental Health Nurses (RMN) in psychiatric units, community mental health teams, and specialist facilities. Additionally, we work with clients needing nurses for specialist areas like dialysis, oncology, paediatrics, and dementia care. The exact role depends on your experience and the current needs of our clients, which range from the NHS to private sector providers. We discuss your preferences in detail during registration to match you with suitable opportunities.
For candidates with all compliance documents in order (valid NMC PIN, in-date DBS, mandatory training), we can often facilitate an immediate start within 1-3 days. We have clients with urgent staffing needs, particularly for temporary and shift cover. Our registration process is streamlined and can be completed partially online. Once you apply, a dedicated consultant will contact you to guide you through the necessary checks. We pride ourselves on speed without compromising on safety or quality, much like our process for filling urgent logistics roles.
We offer both. While we specialise in flexible temporary and contract nursing to cover short-term needs, sickness, and peak demand, we also have many temp-to-perm and direct permanent opportunities. Many of our clients use temporary assignments as an extended interview process. If you perform well and the facility has a permanent vacancy, you will often be offered the position first. We also advertise exclusive permanent roles from clients who trust us to find quality candidates. Whether you want the flexibility of agency work or are seeking a stable, long-term post in Cambridge, we can help.
Our support is continuous. You will have a dedicated consultant available via phone and email for any queries, from shift scheduling and payroll questions to clinical governance concerns. We conduct regular check-ins to ensure you are happy with your placement. We provide professional indemnity insurance cover for our agency workers and offer access to confidential well-being support. Should any issues arise on shift, we act as an intermediary between you and the client to resolve them promptly. Our commitment to support extends across all our sectors, as seen in our management of complex hospitality teams.
Absolutely. We welcome applications from overseas-trained nurses who hold valid NMC registration and the right to work in the UK. We can provide guidance on navigating the UK healthcare system, understanding different care settings, and adapting to local practices.
