If I used your locum service often, would it be the same nurse?
We always aim to offer the same nurse, but due to holidays, sickness and individual nurse commitments it can be difficult to send the same person but we would still offer an excellent qualified nurse for the duration of the agreed cover. You will always be notified of changes to your cover schedule.
Do you charge for travel?
No we do not charge travel expenses as a rule but on certain circumstances we may have to add a travel charge if your practice is in a remote location or the nurse is quite far but willing to travel to you. You will always be notified of any of these charges at the time of booking.
I am training to be a dental nurse can you offer me employment?
All our temporary staff have to be qualified and registered with the general dental council and hold full indemnity insurance to work so unfortunately we are unable to offer any work to you while you are still in the process of your training. Please come back when you are qualified, we can put you on our books then.
Do you provide permanent staff recruitment as well?
Yes we can arrange to find your new dental professional for your team, we can take all the hassle out of the recruiting process for you and find you the right person for the position you require. Please email us with all your requirements and we will contact you ASAP with a quote and a schedule of what we can offer you going forward.
If I wanted to work for you, would I have to be self-employed?
It entirely depends on what position you want to fill and your working requirements at the time. We recruit Dentist’s and Dental hygienist/therapist on a self employed basis but our Locum nurses are mostly employed unless they are already self-employed and want to continue this method of payment. If you are employed with us, we pay your tax and national insurance and pensions payments for you.
Do you provide uniform for your locums?
Yes we do provide scrubs for our locums with our company logo.
If we are quite far from you, could you still get a locum to us?
Yes we can still help you but we would have to charge travel expenses if the distance from the nurse is over 60 miles. We will always aim to get a nurse as close to you as possible. You will be notified of all travel charges at the time of quotation.
Can I sign up to your agency and work as a locum while you find me a permanent Job?
Yes you can, depending on your area of work we can get you working straight away and while you are waiting we can source a permanent position for you in the location you are looking for. Please email us with all your requirements and we will contact you within 1 hour.
We need to recruit a cleaner for our practice, can you help?
Yes we can, we offer a locum service of cleaners that can come and help if your normal cleaner is not available.
