Why agency nursing is a rewarding career

Due to the inexorable demand for staff in the healthcare sector, practices, hospitals and private trusts up and down the UK are heavily dependent on agency staff to take up last minute shifts and fill gaps in the workforce.


As a result, it is an undeniably fantastic time to be a nursing candidate - but why should you choose agency nursing in particular?


Variety (is the spice of life)


Working as an agency nurse means unlocking access to a world of professional experiences. Moving from location to location, meeting different patients and catering to their exceptional needs will not only keep your day interesting but help you build a dazzling portfolio.


Flexibility


Taking on a career in nursing doesn’t have to mean working anti-social hours - in fact, as a locum agency nurse you have the freedom to decide which assignments you accept and can even ask for slots that fit around your schedule.


Location, location, location


Having the freedom to work in different healthcare settings gives you the opportunity to work out what you most enjoy - a luxury not all nursing staff are so fortunate to have. Certain hospitals you don’t like? Guess what…you don’t have to go back!


Continued support


One of the perks of working with an agency is the support you’ll receive. At MCM Medical our specialist consultants work closely with each candidate to understand their aspirations and place them in roles that match up to their wider career plan.


Networking opportunities


Constantly moving around means meeting new people and what better way to broaden your professional network?


More job opportunities


Agencies have a wealth of established connections across the healthcare industry so there will always be something new with your name on it! Whether you want to work within the NHS, or go private, we have access to an abundance of nursing roles which we share with registered candidates on a regular basis (some of which aren’t even live yet!).
