Flexible Healthcare Staffing — Temporary and Permanent Solutions

As a leading healthcare staffing agency, H&D understands that no two healthcare providers have the same needs. Some require immediate cover for urgent shifts, while others need long-term workforce stability. That’s why we deliver both temporary healthcare staffing in the UK and reliable permanent healthcare staffing solutions, giving you the flexibility to scale your workforce when and where you need it.

Temporary Healthcare Staffing UK

Healthcare is unpredictable. Staff sickness, sudden increases in patient demand, or maternity leave can leave critical gaps in your rota. Our temporary healthcare staffing services provide instant relief by supplying qualified professionals who are available to step in at short notice.

Short shifts & last-minute cover — nurses, carers, and HCAs ready within hours.
Seasonal demand — scale your team during winter pressures or summer holidays.
Locum healthcare staff UK — doctors and allied professionals to cover urgent clinical needs.

Whether you run a hospital ward in London or a care home in Manchester, our team ensures you never compromise on patient care.

Permanent Healthcare Staffing Agency

For long-term success, stable teams are essential. Our permanent healthcare staffing agency service focuses on sourcing and placing skilled professionals who are committed to your organisation’s growth. We help reduce turnover by matching candidates not only on skills but also on values and workplace culture.

Leadership roles — senior nurses, ward managers, and clinical leads.
Consistent workforce — carers, support workers, and allied health professionals.
Workforce planning — tailored recruitment strategies for hospitals, clinics, and private providers.

By choosing permanent placements, you secure dependable staff who integrate seamlessly into your team and deliver consistent, high-quality care.

Addressing Your Staffing Challenges

We know the common frustrations healthcare providers face:

“What if I need staff urgently?” – Our rapid response team can fill shifts within 48–72 hours.
“What if my team keeps changing?” – Our permanent recruitment reduces turnover and creates stability.
“Will staff fit my setting?” – Every professional is compliance-checked, DBS-cleared, and trained to CQC/NHS standards.

This approach ensures you receive not just staff, but the right staff for your unique environment.

Trust, Compliance, and Nationwide Coverage

Quality and compliance are at the heart of what we do. Every candidate undergoes right-to-work checks, DBS screening, and mandatory healthcare training. We adhere to CQC and NHS guidelines, so you can trust that our placements meet the highest standards.

Our services cover the entire UK — from London, Manchester, and Birmingham to smaller towns and regions nationwide. Wherever you operate, we connect you with qualified, vetted professionals who are ready to deliver excellent care.

Why Choose Flexible Staffing?

From urgent one-day cover to permanent hires that shape your future workforce, our flexibility ensures you always have the right people at the right time. With H&D as your trusted healthcare staffing agency, you gain reliable support, reduced staffing stress, and peace of mind knowing your patients are in safe hands.
