Temporary worker service
The Temporary Worker Service (TWS) provides a high quality, flexible workforce of temporary staff for all areas of our organisation. Our workforce includes nursing, administration and Allied Health Professionals who cover shortfalls in staffing due to vacancies, sickness, secondments or unexpected service demands. To find out how to join our bank of temporary workers see below.
The TWS consists of a “bank” of workers, who inform the service of their availability to work which is matched to workplace requirements, taking into account any essential skill set required. We have three “banks” of workers within the TWS; these are Nursing, Allied Health Professionals (AHP) and Admin and Clerical (A&C).
The aim of the TWS is to enable our services to provide high quality care to ensure our patients have the best experience possible.
