Nursing recruitment agencies generally provide caregivers and health/social workers to those who need care and assistance with their daily activities. Professionally trained nurses normally enroll in these agencies on a contract basis to be hired in hospitals; care institutions and nursing homes. Contracts are based on filling busy periods or covering maternity leave and staff absenteeism. Sometimes nurses are hired out to private patients who prefer to receive care and assistance in their own homes.
Nursing recruitment agencies in the UK are regulated by the Commission for Social Care Inspection. Nursing jobs and social care jobs are very demanding and require a certain amount of responsibility and patience. There are many instances where claims are generally made for negligence and carelessness, hence malpractice insurance policies should be carried out by the agencies.
