What is a framework Agency?

Due to the recent changes by the government to end the use of ‘off-framework’ agencies by July 2024, many Doctors, Nurses and healthcare professionals are having to transition to work for a framework-approved agency, such as Locum People.

So, what exactly is a framework agency?

Think of a framework-approved agency as a quality shortlist, they have gone through a vetting process that ensures they will be providing top-quality candidates that are compliant with government standards. They will have:

• Safe recruitment practices: Framework agencies prioritise qualified and experienced staff, putting patient safety at the forefront.
• Complaint: They adhere to all regulations and legal requirements, giving peace of mind.
• Competitive rates: Framework agencies will work to framework set rates, ensuring fairness and value for healthcare providers and candidates.

Why would a Doctor, Nurse or AHP choose a framework agency?

As a healthcare worker, stability and security are key. Framework agencies offer a strong foundation for your career, with these benefits:

• Access to Top-Tier Jobs: Framework agencies work with reputable healthcare providers in the NHS and private sector, giving you a wider range of high-quality positions.
• Streamlined Application Process: Framework agencies simplify the application process, connecting you with the right opportunities faster.
