Healthcare Staffing Solutions
Healthcare staffing pressures can affect rotas, workloads and continuity of care. We provide flexible recruitment support designed around the needs of each employer.
Temporary Healthcare Recruitment
Temporary staffing can help when you need cover for:
- Sickness and absence
- Annual leave
- Rota gaps
- Increased demand
- Short-notice vacancies
- Temporary projects
We establish the role, location, shifts, required experience and start date before identifying suitable candidates.
Permanent Healthcare Recruitment
For longer-term appointments, SPR can support employers with candidate sourcing, screening, shortlisting and interview coordination.
Our focus is on introducing people who match the actual requirements of the vacancy, rather than simply generating a high volume of CVs

- Community healthcare services

Public Health Recruitment Compliance
Healthcare recruitment requires careful attention to candidate suitability, particularly where staff work with patients, service users or vulnerable people.
Depending on the role and employer requirements, recruitment checks may include:
- Identity verification
- Right-to-work checks
- Employment history
- References
- Relevant qualifications
- Professional registration
- Appropriate DBS checks
- Client-specific documentation
The correct level of DBS check depends on the duties involved, not simply the job title.
For regulated professional roles, relevant registration and qualification requirements should also be verified before placement.
Where NHS organisations or contracts have specific employment-check or framework requirements, these should be identified at the start of the recruitment process and followed for the relevant assignment.
