Incredible pay. Control of your own shifts, no hassle to book. Multiple payrolls per week.

I love the flexibility afforded to me as well as great rates of pay in recognition for the work I do. On the downside the agency is difficult to join and shifts are regularly cancelled or become available last minute
On the whole, a great place to work
Since joining Thornbry
Since joining Thornbry, I have had the opportunity of being part of the best shifts paid commensurate to my effort. They have an amazing response system and also you get to book shifts yourself at your convenient. It's an agency to be part of, I'm really glad I made the decision to join Thornbry.

TNS is a great agency with good pay…
TNS is a great agency with good pay rares. I love how they are very transparent and consistent with their pay rates. You know exactly how much you will be paid for a shift because you can see all the numbers attached to a shift. I also like the daily payroll runs, paying payments fast and convenient. They pay you your mileage which again I think that's a very cool thing to do. Only discouraging thing for me is the tax deductions and NI. I think maybe if TNS went back to limited company that would be awesome.
