Whether you’re 6 months post registration, a seasoned professional, or an experienced carer, at some point in your career you’ll consider the help of a Care at Home and nursing recruitment agency. Whether it’s to find the perfect role you’ve been striving for, to simply switch jobs, to take up casual nursing or care, or just to get an edge in the job hunt.
At the moment in Glasgow Southside, there’s a huge demand for nurses and carers. And it shows no signs of fading just yet. So, then, if jobs are a-plenty, why does it make sense to choose a nursing agency, and what benefits does an agency offer?

Casual nursing with an agency
Because nurses and carers are in high demand, there is a vital role for casual nurses. Usually, it’s when nurses and carers decide they might like to try casual nursing or caring that they sign with an agency. The benefits and bonuses available are generally rates of pay are higher than those of employee nurses (to compensate for the fact that shifts can come without real warning or be cancelled at the last minute). You’re also presented with a range of options, and you can pick and choose when and where you work. If you’ve put in some long and stressful shifts, you can elect to take some time off, without the need to clear it with the employer or organise someone to cover your next shift – the agency will do this for you.
Because of this, casual nursing and caring offers freedom and flexibility and it is also highly rewarding. Many nurses and carers say that it enables them to simply focus on patient care and really enjoy all the reasons they entered the profession in the first place, without getting bogged down in workplace cultural issues and politics. In many ways you’re a free agent, you turn up, work, and then leave the stresses behind.
Of course, the other benefit is that you’ll be exposed to a variety of different experiences, all of which strengthen your knowledge and confidence and can be a great way to explore aspects of the profession you’re interested in before actually committing to extra study and entering the field.
Parents needing work/family balance, young nurses and carers keen on having exposure to a range and variety of experiences, nurses and carers wanting to combine work with travel, nurses and carers undertaking extra study, and even nurses and carers close to retirement age, who are wanting to ‘slow down’ a little, all benefit from casual agency nursing.
Steady support
Alternatively, if you find you love it, you will find a steady stream of wonderful service users who you can professionally bond with and they will rely on your lovely smiley disposition to help them feel cared for and relaxed in your care.
