What are SNA’s guiding principles?

Our guiding principles are:

  • Recruiting staff are properly trained and equipped to satisfy all their statutory obligations.
  • Open and fair processes of selection
  • Assessment of skills against clearly defined criteria
  • Feedback to candidates
  • Rigorous professional and statutory checks applied to all staff selected for registration with the agency
  • NMC pin number and date of expiry
  • Enhanced CRB Checks
  • ISO 9002 Quality Standard

Throughout our recruitment process all candidates will have a face to face interview by our senior nurse manager.

It is a requirement that all candidates must have at least 2 years related healthcare experience and two references are required with one of these coming from present or must recent employer.

SNA has a policy that all employment gaps must be accounted for. Before registering with SNA all candidates must have their annual training updated and original evidence of this is required. All agency workers are provided with individual training records to facilitate their continued professional development needs.
