Apply Now →What each role actually involves
Every assignment is different, but the day-to-day shape of each role is consistent. Here is what to expect before you apply.
Support Worker
Support Workers make up the largest part of our team. You will help people with the practical parts of daily life – personal care, mobility, meal preparation, medication support and companionship – in nursing homes, residential care, supported living and people's own homes. The work is hands-on and relational: you are often the person who notices first when something changes.
You do not need a formal qualification to start, but you do need genuine care experience, reliability and a willingness to complete our induction and mandatory training. Many of our Support Workers go on to specialise, and the support staff we place work across every setting we cover.
Specialist Support Worker
Specialist Support Workers cover mental health and learning disability services, where the priority is consistency, de-escalation and person-centred practice rather than task completion. You will typically work to a detailed support plan and alongside a wider clinical team.
These roles ask for relevant prior experience in the specialism and, in many settings, additional training in areas such as positive behaviour support. Because continuity matters so much in these services, we try to keep the same professionals returning to the same placements.
Registered Nurse
Registered Nurses must hold current NMC registration, which we verify against the public register before any placement and re-check throughout your time with us. Assignments span nursing homes, hospitals, community services and one-to-one private nursing at home, covering clinical assessment, medication management, wound care, catheter and PEG care, and end-of-life support.
If you are an RGN, RMN or RNLD, we place both temporary shifts and permanent roles – see our nurses and midwifery page for the settings we cover.
How the application process works
We are an REC-affiliated agency, so our vetting follows recruitment industry standards. Nothing here is designed to catch you out – it is the same set of checks any regulated care setting will expect.
- ✓Register and tell us your availability. You create a profile, list the settings you have worked in and the shifts you can cover. There is no cost to you at any stage.
- ✓Interview and experience check. A consultant talks through your background, the specialisms you are confident in, and where you want your career to go.
- ✓Enhanced DBS and right to work. We verify an enhanced DBS check and your right to work in the UK before you are placed. If you are on the DBS Update Service, tell us – it usually speeds things up.
- ✓References and registration. We take references covering your recent care employment, and for nursing roles we confirm your NMC PIN against the register.
- ✓Induction and mandatory training. You complete our induction plus the mandatory training your role requires, including safeguarding, moving and handling, infection control and medication where relevant.
- ✓Your first placement. We match you to settings that fit your experience and travel radius, brief you properly beforehand, and stay reachable while you are on shift.
Our consultants are available Monday to Friday 8am–8pm and weekends 10am–9pm, so there is someone to call outside office hours. If you would rather talk before registering, get in touch and we will call you back.
Agency work, without the uncertainty
Choose your shifts
Agency work lets you decide when and where you work, and fit care around study, family or a second role. You are never obliged to accept a placement.
Variety that builds skill
Working across nursing homes, supported living, mental health and community settings broadens your experience far faster than a single employer usually can.
A route to permanent
We place both temporary and permanent staff. If a setting suits you and you suit them, agency work is a low-risk way for both sides to find that out.
Consultants who know you
We are a two-office team, not a call centre. The person booking your shift knows which settings you have worked in and what you are good at.
We recruit across Greater London and Hertfordshire from our Edgware office, across Dorset and the South Coast from Bournemouth, and nationwide for staffing assignments.

Questions from applicants
The things people most often ask us before registering. If yours is not here, call 020 8951 4510 and ask.
Talk to a consultantNo formal qualification is required to start as a Support Worker, though relevant care experience is. What matters most is reliability, the right attitude and a willingness to complete our induction and mandatory training. For Registered Nurse roles, current NMC registration is essential and non-negotiable.
An enhanced DBS check, proof of your right to work in the UK, references covering your recent care employment, and confirmation of your professional registration if you are a nurse. You will also complete induction and the mandatory training your role requires. These checks are standard across regulated care and protect the people you support.
No. It is illegal in the UK for an employment agency to charge a work-seeker a fee for finding them work, and we never do. Registering, being vetted and being placed are all free to you.
Yes. You tell us your availability and travel radius, and we offer placements that fit. You are free to decline any shift. Many of our staff use agency work precisely because it flexes around study, caring responsibilities or another job.
Often, yes. We place staff on both temporary and permanent contracts, and a temporary placement is a practical way for you and a care setting to decide whether you suit each other before either side commits.
Our two offices are in Edgware, North London and Bournemouth, Dorset, and most of our care-at-home work sits around those areas. For healthcare staffing we place professionals with care providers nationwide. Tell us where you are and we will be straight with you about what we can offer nearby.
