If you’re looking for care bank staff for your Home, then look no further! At Medilink Nursing, we’ve got hundreds of care bank staff on our books, ready and waiting to lend a hand at Residential Homes across England.
Key Advantages Of Care Bank Staff
One of the key advantages of employing care bank staff is the flexibility they can offer to healthcare facilities. Healthcare needs can fluctuate significantly, and having a pool of qualified care bank staff readily available allows healthcare providers to meet these changing demands effectively. Whether it’s filling in for unexpected staff shortages, accommodating increased patient admissions during peak seasons, or covering for employees on leave, care bank staff play a crucial role in maintaining seamless operations. This flexibility not only ensures that patients continue to receive the care they require but also helps in reducing the strain on existing staff, preventing burnout, and enhancing overall staff satisfaction.
Medilink Nursing Care Bank Staff
When it comes to selecting our care bank staff, we’re pickier than a lot of other nursing agencies. For example, we won’t take on anyone who doesn’t have a minimum of 6 months’ experience in a UK Residential Home setting within the past 2 years, or 2 years’ experience within the last 5.
This experience requirement means that all of our care bank staff can get straight to work in new Residential Home settings with minimal briefings and are fully up-to date with training as well as having the practical experience to go with it. All of our care bank staff are fully briefed on safeguarding rules and can use various technology or reporting software you may have.
We also provide our staff with in-house, CPD-accredited training courses to keep them up-to-date with the latest healthcare standards and techniques. So when you get your care bank staff through Medilink, you get staff who really know their stuff!
Naturally, all of our care bank staff are DBS checked, which is done by our sister company, Aaron’s Department.
