Frequently Asked Questions
What qualifications do I need to work as a care home nurse?
You must be a Registered Nurse (RGN or RMN) with a valid NMC PIN and a minimum of 12 months post-registration experience in a UK care setting. Experience in elderly care, dementia, or palliative support is highly valued.
How long does the onboarding process take?
Standard registration typically takes 10 to 14 days. This allows our team to complete a thorough nurse-led vetting process, including PVG verification and clinical references.
What settings will I work in?
Our care home placements include residential homes, nursing homes, specialist dementia units, and palliative care settings across Scotland's public and private sectors.
Do you offer permanent or temporary roles?
We primarily offer flexible agency shifts, but we also support nurses looking for block bookings or longer-term placements to build continuity with residents.
How does pay work?
All care home nurses are paid weekly via PAYE with no umbrella companies. Holiday pay is accrued separately so you receive actual paid time off.
