Excellent rates but limited work!
Very limited work opportunities particularly if you are not a regular TNS worker, as you have to rely on shifts being posted on App.

Love working for Thornbury
Love working for Thornbury. They are very professional. It does take time to get registered as they are thorough on checking all details. Lots of perks, nmc paid after working some shifts, travel, some accommodation costs, occasional monthly draws with super prizes.

Unable to speak or email a manager
Unable to speak or email a manager to discuss a pay issue. All I have is payroll have gone as far as they can and to speak to a manager. I have emailed several times with no response, extremely upset and unhappy with my treatment since I went out of my way to help cover shifts so that patients didn’t get cancelled.
Have now had good communication with a manager who has understood where the problem lies and has been able to successfully resolve this issue

Good management and thrives to leave staff and clients happy. All allegations are investigated fairly and honest. Employees are encouraged and motivated by draws and prizes. All training is kept up to date and staff can see when their training is running off though they are also reminded by Thornbury agency.

Thornbury Nursing - High Recommendation
Thornbury Nursing is an extremely professional and organised agency that looks after the nurses working for them. The contact centre is efficient and approachable at all times, and the training department is highly skilled with regular training opportunities if required. I highly recommend Thornbury Nursing Services.

Highly recomend
A very good agency to work for. They are very supportive and even pay for your NMC fees, if you work a certain amount of shifts yearly. Every time i have called for advice, the team have been excelent. And the pay is extremely good. If you can pick up shifts last minuite and prepared to travel, then you will get the shifts. Highly recommend this agency.
