I’ve been working full time with SNG…

I’ve been working full time with SNG for over 10 years now and it’s the best nursing agency in the UK by far. This is why you should join up, as the Scottish Nursing Guild offers you the very best of opportunities to further enhance your skills and experience working within the healthcare nursing sector. It also provides much more manoeuvrability, and flexibility to allow you to enjoy a greater lifestyle work balance tailored to suit your own needs and requirements, which will evidentially make all the difference in the end when you sign up and pursue a successful professional career with the Scottish Nursing agency.

The best agency I have worked for.
The pay rates are great so that means you don’t have to take too many shift .
Which gives you time for yourself and family.
Mileage is covered so you can drive anywhere comfortably.
They offer trainings which is great.
I would gladly refer SNG to my friends.

Great agency

Have been working with the Guild for a year now. I have been recommending them to any of my nursing colleagues who have been considering agency work. They have great rates of pay, offer more for specialties (unlike other agencies), have good flexibility and great range of shifts available. State to be a “last minute agency” but there is often shifts available with sometimes up to a month’s notice! The application was quick, the interview was completely virtual and in your own time. Best decision I made was to join.

Hi Lee,

Thank you for sharing your feedback regarding your recent application with the Guild. We understand your disappointment with the outcome and appreciate you taking the time to share your perspective.

Upon reviewing your application and discussing it with our Recruitment Manager, we identified a potential oversight. Your experience working overtime on surgical wards appears to have been incorrectly flagged as unsuitable. We believe this experience could be relevant, providing you can supply accurate referencing for this work. We would like to explore this further with you and discuss how we can best proceed. Please contact us at 01 902 3081.

We value your feedback and will continue to evaluate our processes to ensure they are as fair and efficient as possible.

Best regards, the Guild

Cancelling shifts

I am not happy with my recent experience with Scottish Nursing Guild last 09/10/2024. They have been cancelling many shifts. If I could count it, it is like 10 times that they have been doing this.
For them, it is very easy to inform you about cancelled shifts. However, they will notify you immediately or they will sent you a pull out policy reminder because of your records that shows you had come out of 3 shifts. After all, that's not fair for your workers.
