Using our years of experience, we have compiled 5 top tips to choosing a new agency, (such as Peninsula – well we can be a bit biased).
1. Don’t be a number¬†- Do your research, ask around, talk to them, see if they care about you and ensure you are a part of a team.
2. Ask yourself ‘Are they successful’?¬†- What type of homes/units do they supply to? Are they busy? Can they provide you with what you require?
3. What’s in it for me?¬†- How are they different? As all agencies can look the same from the outside, ask yourself how they stand out and go the extra mile for their staff and offer incentives (like us).
4. Are they interested in my career?¬†- With most agencies staff register, turn up and that’s it. Ask the agency do they have career plans, what opportunities they can offer, and is there a possibility to progress within the agency.
5. Industry Recognised Training and Professional Development - The nursing industry continuously has demands on your professional development. Many agencies (us) provide flexible, affordable, and practical training for all our staff and clients.
At times people can think that their career with an agency is not personal, but we personally strive to work, communicate, and go the ‘extra mile’ for our staff and clients. If you know anyone who is interested in a new challenge, have them contact us today and remember we offer a ¬£30 referral bonus, so make sure they mention your name!
