Temporary Healthcare Staffing
Nurses, Carers & Support Workers
Reliable temporary healthcare staffing across England and Wales
Finding the right staff when you need them isn’t always easy. Staff sickness, annual leave, unexpected absences and changes in care needs can all put pressure on your team.
At Agency Care Staff, we supply temporary nurses, care assistants and support workers to healthcare and social care providers across England and Wales.
Whether you need someone to cover a single shift or require additional staff over a longer period, we’re here to help you maintain safe staffing levels and continuity of care.
Temporary Staffing Support When You Need It
We understand the pressures that healthcare providers face when trying to maintain the right staffing levels.
An unexpected absence can leave managers searching for cover at short notice. At other times, you may need additional staff to support increased occupancy, complex care needs or changes within your service.
Our temporary staffing service is designed to help you manage these situations without adding unnecessary work to your day.
We work with care providers to understand their staffing requirements, including the type of professional needed, experience, shift patterns and any specific needs of the people receiving care.
Our aim is simple: to help you find suitable staff so your service can continue running smoothly.
Healthcare Services We Support
We work with a range of healthcare and social care providers across England and Wales.
Care Homes & Nursing Homes
Care homes need reliable staffing to provide consistent care to their residents.
We support residential and nursing homes with temporary nurses, senior carers and Care Assistants to help cover sickness, annual leave, staff vacancies and other staffing shortages.
We understand that every home has its own routines, policies and residents’ needs. Finding staff with suitable experience is an important part of providing effective temporary cover.
Supported Living Services
Supported living services provide individuals with varying levels of support while promoting their independence.
We supply temporary Support Workers to supported living providers, including services supporting people with learning disabilities, autism, physical disabilities and additional support needs.
We recognise the importance of consistency, communication and matching staff experience to the needs of the individuals being supported.
Domiciliary Care Providers
Providing care in people’s own homes comes with its own staffing challenges.
When regular carers are unavailable or demand increases, additional staffing support may be needed to maintain planned care visits.
We work with domiciliary care providers to discuss their requirements for temporary Care Assistants and support staff, taking into account the nature of the visits, location and experience required.
Private Hospitals
Private hospitals and independent healthcare facilities may require temporary nursing and healthcare support to manage staffing shortages, planned absences or periods of increased demand.
We work with providers to understand their clinical staffing requirements and identify professionals with relevant experience for the roles requested.
Brain Injury & Specialist Rehabilitation Services
Supporting people living with an acquired brain injury or undergoing rehabilitation requires patience, understanding and appropriate experience.
We can assist specialist services looking for temporary healthcare staff, including Support Workers, Care Assistants and Registered Nurses.
When discussing a booking, we consider the specific requirements of the service and the experience needed to support individuals safely and appropriately.
Why Choose Agency Care Staff?
We know there are many healthcare staffing agencies to choose from. We believe the difference comes down to understanding your service, communicating clearly and taking recruitment seriously.
Healthcare Experience Behind Our Service
Agency Care Staff is led by a Registered Nurse with more than 10 years of experience working in the care sector, including care home services and management. This practical background gives us an understanding of the challenges providers face, from managing staffing shortages to maintaining standards of care.
A Personal Approach
We take the time to understand what you're looking for rather than treating every staffing request in the same way. Different services have different needs, and these can change from one shift to another. We want to build working relationships with providers who value clear communication, professionalism and reliable staffing support.
Flexible Staffing Arrangements
You may need cover for one shift, several shifts or an extended period. We can discuss temporary staffing arrangements based on your service's requirements, including day shifts, night shifts, weekends and ongoing staffing needs.
Focus on Suitability
We understand that experience matters, particularly in specialist care settings. When reviewing a staffing request, we consider the role, required qualifications, relevant experience and any additional training or competencies the assignment may require. Our focus is on providing staff who are suitable for the work they will be undertaking.
Recruitment, Screening & Compliance Checks
The safety of the people receiving care must always come first.
We recognise the importance of appropriate recruitment checks before healthcare professionals are supplied to work within a service.
Our recruitment and screening processes take account of the requirements of the role and may include:
- Identity and right-to-work verification
- Relevant Disclosure and Barring Service (DBS) checks
- Employment history and references
- Verification of professional registration, where applicable
- Review of relevant training and qualifications
- Checks relating to experience and suitability for the assignment
For nursing positions, we recognise the importance of confirming professional registration with the Nursing and Midwifery Council (NMC).
We also understand that each provider has its own induction procedures, policies and competency requirements. We work with providers to clarify expectations before an assignment begins.
Our approach is to take recruitment and compliance seriously, while maintaining open communication with the services we support.
