Working for an agency is easier than having another job as you choose when you want to work, and you’re not tied to any contract.
Joining a recruitment agency is much easier than applying to numerous different places. You have the choice to work full time or part time so you can choose the hours that suit you best. Also, you gain experience working in different places providing you the opportunity to find out where your skills are best placed. The support from the agency is important, guidance, learning courses and development opportunities are available which increases employability and advances your career. Weekly wages are also a massive bonus, allowing you to budget better.
Flexibility, and we have competitive rates nationwide. It also gives a way to get onto different wards and get more experience which can be limited with just working at one trust. I gain some of my best clinical knowledge and experience working as an agency worker for almost 10 years.
From my experience in recruitment, Agency workers are also able to adapt quickly to new surroundings. There is an expectation that you will walk in the door and be able to get on with the job.
It is a real skill to learn a new clinical environment, processes, procedures, terminology -as well as everyone’s name and role- and to be able to do this speedily, efficiently, and professionally. This is one skill that will really stand you in good stead in your career!
