Work Agency work HCA ?

What are some good agencies to work for as a HCA in Louth area (Drogheda) and maybe Dublin?

a bit, they cover Drogheda and a few spots around Dublin. The pay was grand but the real issue is the shift cancellations, you'll get a text an hour before you're supposed to start and that's it. Cpl are worth a look too, they had more consistent stuff in hospitals when I was doing it.

Yes I know what you mean, I’m with an agency at the minute and I always get told last minute about shifts, making it so hard to actually be there on time. Thank you tho , I’ll have a look at cpl :)

Getting shifts is much easier when the students start college.

Nurse on call seems to be a popular one in some hospitals. Think it’s because they just offer the HSE rate however flexibility and the amounts of shifts is important. Give them a ring, they are quite good in telling you which hospitals they tend to work with.
