Care Staffing Agency

So, how exactly do our care staffing recruiters operate? How is Cucumber able to link clients with their ideal candidates in order to fill urgent vacancies of all kinds? First of all, we need to explore what exactly care staffing means.

What is care staffing?

Currently, the UK’s medical and caregiving sectors are constantly understaffed. For this reason, organisations operating within these fields often have to reach out at extremely short notice in a bid to fill highly specialised positions.

The most effective approach in situations of this kind is to engage a care staffing agency with an excellent track record, such as Cucumber.

Care staffing agencies are able to link organisations like hospitals, clinics, assisted living facilities, nursing homes, rehab centres and home-based care agencies with highly trained and experienced workers that fit their requirements precisely.

This method of recruitment significantly reduces administrative pressure on the organisation, as well as diminishing the risk of overwork and burnout that may otherwise affect team members having to undertake additional work to make up for understaffing.

This, in turn, vastly improves the patient experience and standard of care – and prevents any possible compliance issues.

Why trust Cucumber as your care staffing agency?

The team at Cucumber has extensive experience of providing care staffing solutions. Founded in 2018, we have developed an exceptionally large database of specialist caregivers and healthcare providers based right across the UK.

This means that, when you contact Cucumber for assistance with your company’s staffing requirements, we will be able to link you to individuals with precisely the right training, located a very practical distance from your facility or offices.

What’s more, Cucumber works hard to ensure that every professional on our books remains in possession of up-to-date paperwork, training and background checks. This means that onboarding can be speedy and streamlined, allowing for the quickest possible turnaround.

We even provide regular in-house training opportunities in a wide range of care-focused specialisms and disciplines, including:

• Challenging Behaviour
• Dementia Care
• Dignity and Respect
• End of Life Care
• Epilepsy

Cucumber also strongly encourages the staff on our books to prioritise best practices, excellent attendance and punctuality as standard.
