Some Frequently asked Questions
-
A medical staffing agency is a company that specialises in recruiting and placing healthcare professionals in various medical facilities. These agencies help hospitals, clinics, nursing homes, and other healthcare providers fill temporary, permanent, or locum positions with qualified medical staff.
They typically handle the entire hiring process, including sourcing candidates, conducting interviews, verifying credentials, and managing contracts. This allows healthcare facilities to maintain adequate staffing levels and ensure high-quality patient care, even during times of high demand or staff shortages. See here for further in formation on what a medical staffing agency does.
-
Medical staffing agencies exist to address several key needs in the healthcare industry:
Staff Shortages: Healthcare facilities often face staffing shortages (like scrub nurses) due to factors like seasonal demand, employee turnover, and unexpected absences. Staffing agencies help fill these gaps quickly with qualified professionals.
Specialised Recruitment: Finding the right healthcare professionals with specific skills and qualifications can be challenging. Staffing agencies specialise in recruiting for these roles, ensuring that facilities get the expertise they need.
Flexibility: Many healthcare providers require temporary or locum staff to cover for permanent employees on leave or to manage peak periods. Staffing agencies provide a flexible workforce that can adapt to these changing needs.
Efficiency: The recruitment process can be time-consuming and resource-intensive. Staffing agencies streamline this process by handling everything from sourcing candidates to verifying credentials, allowing healthcare facilities to focus on patient care.
Cost-Effectiveness: By outsourcing recruitment to staffing agencies, healthcare facilities can reduce the costs associated with hiring, such as advertising, interviewing, and training.
Overall, medical staffing agencies play a crucial role in ensuring that healthcare facilities can maintain high standards of care by providing access to a reliable and skilled workforce. Here are some of the additional benefits of using a medical staffing agency.
-
Using agency staff over full-time staff can offer several advantages for healthcare facilities:
Flexibility: Agency staff can be hired on a short-term basis to cover for absences, peak periods, or special projects. This flexibility allows healthcare facilities to adjust their workforce according to demand without the long-term commitment of full-time hires.
Cost Savings: While agency staff might have higher hourly rates, they can be more cost-effective overall. Facilities save on benefits, training, and other costs associated with full-time employees. Additionally, they avoid the expenses related to recruitment and onboarding.
Speed of Hiring: Staffing agencies can quickly provide qualified professionals, reducing the time and effort needed to fill urgent vacancies. This is particularly useful in emergencies or when there is a sudden increase in patient volume.
Access to Specialised Skills: Agencies often have a pool of professionals with specialised skills and experience. This allows healthcare facilities to bring in experts for specific needs without having to find and hire these specialists permanently.
Reduced Administrative Burden: The staffing agency handles many administrative tasks, such as payroll, benefits, and compliance with employment laws. This reduces the administrative workload for the healthcare facility.
Trial Period for Permanent Roles: Hiring agency staff can serve as a trial period to assess their fit for potential permanent roles. This way, facilities can make more informed decisions about long-term hires.
While full-time staff provide stability and continuity, agency staff offer the flexibility and specialised skills (like that of a registered mental health nurse) that can be crucial for maintaining high-quality patient care in a dynamic healthcare environment.
-
At Medicare People, we operate a Pay-As-You-Earn (PAYE) payroll system, ensuring that we pay our nurses directly and deduct income tax at source.
We do not use umbrella companies or allow our nurses to work through limited companies or umbrella schemes. This is for two key reasons:
We believe these schemes generally do not benefit our workers.
We are concerned that many of these schemes may not comply with HMRC regulations, either currently or in the future.
We are confident that we offer the best overall package. Most importantly, unlike other agencies, we fully value our medical agency staff.
