A wealth of experience

With a combined experience of over 40 years working within the healthcare recruitment sector, we are confident in the standards we deliver to our employees, the healthcare professionals who represent our company and our clients, all of whom expect the very best service from us. Over the last decade, we have founded a number of the UK’s largest nursing agencies and have now pooled our experience to build Next Step Nursing.

Our wealth of experience allows us to reassure our clients and candidates, that when engaging with Next Step Nursing, we understand the complete process of recruitment. Next Step Nursing is proud to be on the government frameworks and has extensive experience working within the framework compliance standards. We place an emphasis on screening and registering candidates to meet the highest levels of compliance, sourcing suitably skilled candidates for our clients’ needs.

We can fill last minute bookings, lines of work and provide continuity via both temporary supply and permanent placements. We firmly believe that our ability to successfully meet our clients’ expectations, stems from the time spent building relationships, communicating effectively and delivering what we promise to all clients.

Next Step Nursing can supply all grades of nurses (RGN’s, RMN’s, Midwives, RHV’s, ODP’s and Health Care Assistants), nationally to the NHS and Private sector. We supply to Acute Hospitals, Community Hospitals, Private Hospitals, Prisons, Secure Training Centre’s, Mental Health Units, CAMHS Teams, DAT Teams, Nursing Homes, EMI Units and Residential Care Homes.

How we do it

Next Step Nursing attracts experienced professionals with a wide range of grades and specialities. With over 6000 qualified nurses (RGN & RMN) and Health Care Assistants on our database, our pool of professionals gives Next Step Nursing the ability to assist our clients nationally with wherever they are experiencing shortages within their teams.

Whether our client requires a nurse last minute, for a line of work, or to cover sickness, shortages or annual leave, Next Step Nursing can help fill these requirements 24/7. We are lifetime industry experts, who are passionate about ensuring that anyone who engages with us is valued and receives a professional service.

Every customer is assigned a dedicated consultant from our highly-experienced team. They are tasked with understanding each of our client’s unique requirements; allowing us to place the most suitable staff member available, in the shortest possible time.

In response to the continuously moving market of recruitment, Next Step Nursing works tirelessly to engage with staff to join our team, ensuring that we are always able to support our client’s needs; both new and existing.

Compliance

Every professional who registers with us must undergo our comprehensive recruitment process, in order to meet our superior levels of compliance. Upon successful completion of this process, we provide an induction period during which professionals are familiarised with our company policies and expectations. Every member of our team also receives a Next Step Nursing uniform, a tamper-proof identification badge and timesheets, which need to be completed at the end of each shift worked.

Our stringent compliance standards, coupled with our office being open 24-hours a day, gives us the ability to provide a fast, reliable short notice service to our clients requiring a shift covered ASAP. This is an essential service for many of our clients, due to the unpredictable nature of healthcare and the need for extra members of staff, with little prior notice. Whether due to staff sickness or a sudden need to increase staff numbers, our ability to supply suitably qualified professionals at short notice, gives our clients the reassurance they need when relying upon an agency partner.

Next Step Nursing will pool all of its resources to provide cover in an emergency. Our extensive database can be searched quickly, based on grade, specialism, location and specific skills and experience held, allowing Next Step Nursing to efficiently fill shifts, when our customers need us most!

Next Step Nursing is an approved national framework supplier and meets the standards set by the Care Quality Commission, Recruitment Employment Confederation, the NHS employment checks, National framework agreements and various governing bodies. We follow all required clinical governance regulations and ensure we go over and above our clients’ expectations.
