Love working for this agency

I have worked with a few agencies in Northern Ireland and the Guild is by far the best! Easy process to get started and it’s so easy to book shifts on the Quick Nurse app. The staff are so friendly on the phone. Great pay with perks.

It’s amazing to work with the Guild

The freedom that you get from the flexible shifts makes your life much easier. The staff are wonderful and they are at your disposal at all times. Also, a very important aspect is the high pay rates, which make me feel appreciated. I am very thankful to the Guild and its staff members.

Great company to work for

I started working with the Scottish Nursing Guild in July ’22. I left my full-time job so I could have more flexibility. The support from the Guild has been more than I expected. Best decision I have ever made in my 23 years of full-time care employment.
