I first worked with Balmoral Healthcare about 5 years ago. Recently I found myself needing flexible working arrangements again, and I had no hesitation in rejoining the agency. The flexibility that agency working allows has enabled me to balance my professional life and my responsibility to care for a family that I simply couldn’t have done with a full-time role. The staff are always friendly and make you feel like part of the team; there’s always a warm welcome and a cup of tea when you visit the office.  The office team works closely with you to place you in appropriate clinical areas to fulfill your professional goals and they are great at providing support with CPD and revalidation. They always have plenty of work available, and there’s never any pressure to take on work that doesn’t suit you. The higher-level management are really approachable and in touch with those of us with our boots on the ground. As a business, they advocate for the nursing profession and make sure that nurses are valued and receive fair pay. I would say to anyone thinking of joining an agency, join Balmoral and enjoy a career you control.

Since qualifying I had worked in one specialty, I decided it was time to broaden my nursing skills, and at the same time have more flexibility in my shift patterns. I contacted Balmoral Healthcare over the phone and within the same week I had an interview scheduled. The team made a huge effort to get me registered as quickly as possible by gathering all the necessary documentation and reference information. It was a very straightforward and quick process. The Nurse Manager of Balmoral, advised that I try a block booking on one ward so I could become familiar and get support from a team I know. Following the interview, I was introduced to the team who I would be contacting to arrange shifts. I was able to tell them about my previous work experience and which areas would suit my skills best, so they could offer me the most suitable placements. I arranged my first shift there and then with the team. The Balmoral Healthcare team have been supportive and friendly throughout, and made moving home and changing jobs a simple task.

Proud to be part of the best team! Without a doubt the best company to work for with amazing pay and flexible hours and not to mention the first class staff who are always on the end of the phone if you need anything, especially when you think you can'T get to a place of work for night duty from memory. I had no Sat Nav rang the office and Conor sat on the phone for 20 minutes with maps on his computer to get me there. I would recommend this agency to everyone that has the desire and love to care for people, as they will support you to be the best candidate, providing the highest standard of care for the residents. Go team!                          

Balmoral Healthcare agency is the one and only! I could find it very professional and efficient providing you work and training. The agency is run by very hard working staff who are very polite including payroll staff, training and reception. They make you feel so welcome, comfortable and truly part of the agency as a valued member. The manners and respect are outstanding. I would recommend this agency to everyone who has a desire to care for people.  

The online application process was very straight forward and the staff follow up on the phone was friendly and welcoming. I had my interview via SKYPE with the team and they kept me regularly informed on what information and training records they required to complete my application. A week later, on the day after I moved to Belfast, I met with the team in their Malone Road offices and completed the process. I was surprised that the whole process took just over 1 week in total. I was assigned to an Emergency Department which was my preference. I generally work what suits me. I was nervous about starting a new role in a different country but Balmoral definitely made the transition an easy step. I have regular work with good pay (better than my London agency rates)! Highly recommend Balmoral!
