For the Hiring Managers

All you need to know about working in partnership with NHSP

We have put together some key advice and documentation you require as a Hiring Manager, to help you in your role. With these tools, you will be able to simply request bank members for placement opportunities at your Trust, in a quick and easy way!

A little about us…

NHS Professionals (NHSP) is a limited company wholly owned by the Department of Health and Social Care; and is the leading provider of managed flexible worker services to the NHS.


What does this mean?

 

We work with Trusts to reduce their reliance on expensive agencies by developing a ‘staff bank’ of highly skilled flexible workers, who want to work for the NHS.

Staff banks are key in supporting the NHS to maintain high standards of patient safety and care across various areas within the Trust. If a hospital does not have enough staff on a ward or departmental area, due to increased demand, sickness or staff shortages, they need the support of temporary staff.

This is where you can help!

By requesting a bank member for a placement through NHSP, can help reduce unfilled placement pressures at your Trust. Read on to see how to request a bank member for a placement.
