    Yes. When placing people in positions of healthcare, it is vital that we follow procedures. We will meet with you to go through all relevant checks and assist you in completing all required documentation.

    Absolutely not. We specialise in placing healthcare professionals into temporary, fixed-term and permanent roles across the whole of the UK in both public and private sectors.

  • how long does the application and interview process take?

    The standard process we follow is to meet with you to go through all relevant checks. This can usually be done relatively quickly if you prepare all information as soon as possible. After that, it’s just a matter of following the interview process and you could be working in a matter of weeks.

  • what documents will you need to see for my checks?

    It’s our top priority to ensure everyone we place is carefully vetted and checked in the best interests of our clients.

    Our specialists will work with you before, during and after your placement to ensure you’re fully supported every step of the way. We’ll help you to complete the application process, prepare you for your interview and make sure you’re comfortable in your new role by conducting weekly calls to check you’re settling in ok and to offer support with administrative responsibilities, such as timesheet processing.

  • what are your out of office service hours for nursing?

    We understand that sometimes you might need support outside of our usual office hours and so we have an out of office service for our nursing candidates. The services times are 4pm - 12am and 5.30am - 9.30am Monday to Friday and 5am - 12am on Saturday and Sunday. You can email the team on outofhoursmanchester@randstad.co.uk.
