Main duties of the job

Flexibility is the key to a healthy work life balance, are you looking for work to fit in with your commitments or alternatively looking for a permanent position but not ready to commit just yet?

If you have answered yes to any of the above questions then temporary staffing could be just what you are looking for:-

The Trust’s temporary staffing offers a range of shifts including early, late, night and long day, you choose the shift that you want to work and when you want to work. You control your working pattern. 

Alternatively if your long term aim is to secure a permanent contract, then working for the temporary staffing offers you the opportunity to work in a range of different wards and departments. This could help you decide on the area that you would ultimately like to work on; temporary work is often the stepping stone into something more permanent.
