Florence is the online marketplace for care homes to find RGNs, RMNs and HCAs to fill temporary shifts.
We offer transparency, accountability and simplicity for care home managers looking to ease the pressure of filling staffing gaps.
Since 2017, Florence has had over 20,000 nurses and 600 care homes sign up to find and post temporary shifts through Florence.
Operating across England and Wales, we match you to the most relevant nurses based on location, required skills and reliability for you to choose from.
As Florence is entirely online, you can access the platform remotely – accept nurses for shifts, sign off timesheets and post new shifts from your desk or on-the-go.

No ringing round. No hassle. Total peace of mind.
