Able to work through an agency full time?

I mainly mean care agencies where you are asked to work one day here one day there etc.

Do you basically need to work out how many shifts a month you need to work and take whatever shifts are available so maybe 4 shifts one week 2 shift the next?

I know of nurses who are happy to work just through an agency but it's not guaranteed hours. I'd hate the whole not knowing and being asked to do a shift with an hrs notice etc.

  • I am not entirely sure what your question is in the main body of the text but regarding your title question, well yes, if they have the hours available. You would technically be on a "no guaranteed hours" contract.
