Thornbury Nursing Services Reviews 726

I have been working for Thornbury Nursing Services since 2010. I find them to be the best agency in the UK,good pay, very professional.Helpful with CPD always learning. Helpful with everything including revalidation. BEST AGENCY EVER!! I am proud to be working for them.

I was originally told about Thornbury Nursing Services in 2001. At that time my colleagues mainly highlighted the higher rates of pay.
However I have stayed with TNS since then more because I feel the people I have met and spoken to are professional and decent people. I have had experience of many Agencies I have often felt this is for various reasons not so.
I have always felt respected and listened to through all the highs and lows Nursing puts one through.

Have been with Thornbury Nursing since 2011. No issues at all the one agency which does not persecute you for cancelling shifts. Very respectful, professional and understanding. Could never trade it for anything at all. The best Nursing Agency so far.

I’ve had a very positive experience working with Thornbury Nursing Agency. From the beginning, the registration process was smooth and well-organised, with clear communication at every stage. The team is professional, supportive, and always responsive whenever I’ve had questions or needed assistance.

One of the standout aspects is the quality of shifts offered. The placements are well-matched to my skills and often in reputable healthcare settings. I also appreciate the flexibility, which allows me to maintain a good work-life balance.

Payments are reliable and processed on time, which is essential when working agency shifts. Additionally, the consultants are approachable and genuinely seem to care about staff wellbeing, regularly checking in and providing updates.

The only drawback I’ve experienced is that there isn’t always enough work available, which can make it difficult to rely on consistent shifts at times.

Overall, Thornbury Nursing Agency is a trustworthy and well-managed agency that I would recommend to any nurse looking for flexibility, good support, and quality placements.

Extremely low pay working as a placement coordinator. Placing agency nurses who are paid between £60 - £160 per hour. Which can equate to as much as £1,600 for one 12 hour shift. All billed to the NHS / taxpayer. Whilst you yourself are paid minimum wage, equating to around £70 for the entire shift. Constantly inundated with ESG inspired eLearning modules which have no relevance to the role of placement coordinator and micro mangaged to a suffocating extent. It's even frowned upon if you decide to login 5 minutes early to begin your shift, or over stay your shift by few minutes.

I found the staff to he rude, not helpful, they were very difficult to communicate with, i wouldnt recommend joining them. I never got cleared to work, took my money for the DBS, never refunded me, when they had no intentions to clear me for work

The best agency ever! Highly recommended! Thank you Thornbury 😊

Pleasant helpful staff at Thornbury. Easy to contact. Paid promptly.

Been with TNS for several years now and I cannot recommend another reliable agency to work for. I am very fortunate to be oart of their team and I will make sure to keep my registration with them active all the time. Excellent

Awful experience, worst job I ever had.

Currently going through the robust application/recruitment process with TNS and no exaggeration, I get at least two telephone calls a day asking when I am going to complete the process and why I haven’t already. I have already been called at 08:14 this morning. I work part time and wish to take on extra shifts in MY OWN TIME. I do not appreciate being harassed like this and despite telling them not to call they still do. After reading the reviews and hearing of the difficulties in securing shifts it doesn’t sound worth the hassle.

I started working with thornbury long time back and always enjoyed every bit of it, feel very sad to leave as i am retired but thank you everyone for your support throughout my journey with thornbury nursing agency.

It was a life changing experience working for Thornbury Nursing Services. My life changed, financially and emotionally, I thank God for Thornbury.

Very professional company.Varied assignments. Love the flexibility in working.
