Healthcare

The most sought-after temporary roles in healthcare are care assistants, nurses, hospital service agents, stretcher bearers, and medical secretaries. Hospitals, clinics, care homes, and laboratories use temporary staff to ensure continuity of care during replacements and peak activity periods.

Healthcare roles require the corresponding State Diploma, such as the DEAS for care assistants or the DEI for nurses, as well as up-to-date mandatory vaccinations. Hospital service agent or stretcher bearer positions are accessible without a diploma, with training on hygiene protocols provided on-site.

Temporary work offers great freedom in choosing assignments, facilities, and schedules, allowing for a healthy work-life balance. Pay is attractive thanks to end-of-assignment and paid leave allowances, and the diversity of departments quickly enriches professional experience.
