Temp-to-Permanent Staffing
Try Before You Hire — With Zero Risk

Temp-to-Permanent Staffing

Trial qualified healthcare staff on a temporary basis before committing to a permanent hire. Reduce recruitment risk, assess real-world fit, and build a reliable long-term workforce with confidence.

About This Service

The best way to know if someone is right for your team is to see them in action. WellCare's temp-to-permanent pathway lets you work with a candidate on a temporary basis first — giving both parties time to assess whether the fit is right. After an agreed trial period, you can convert to a permanent hire at a reduced conversion fee, or we'll find you another candidate. It's a smarter, lower-risk approach to building a stable care workforce.

What We Provide

Temporary placements with permanent conversion option
Agreed trial periods (typically 8–13 weeks)
Reduced permanent conversion fees
Ongoing support throughout the trial period
Replacement guarantee if the trial doesn't work out
Smooth TUPE advice where applicable

Our Compliance Standards

Every candidate meets these requirements before their first shift:

Full compliance before first temp shift
DBS, references, and training verified upfront
Compliance maintained throughout temp period
Seamless transition to permanent with no gaps
Right to work re-confirmed at conversion
Updated compliance pack provided at hire

Ideal For

  • Providers who want to assess fit before committing
  • Organisations reducing costly permanent recruitment mistakes
  • Care homes building new specialist teams
  • Services seeking long-term stability
