Top Reasons to be a Self-Employed Nurse or GP with Nightingale
You’re passionate about what you do. And simply put, you want to do more of it. As a self-employed GP or nurse, you get more of the work you want, when you want it. With Nightingale, you’re matched to work according to your clinical experience and interests and can start finding your perfect shifts as soon as you’ve completed your profile, submitted your documents and had a quick chat with one of the Nightingale team.
You crave flexibility. A common misconception about going self-employed is that that you want to work less, but that isn’t necessarily the case. Of course, you can work less if you choose to, but the point is this: you’re in control. Nurse and GP shortages work in favour of self-employed healthcare professionals and if you make the decision to go for it, you’re guaranteed shifts - you just get to choose them.
You have other passions or side-projects you want to explore. Whether you want to spend more time running, volunteering, knitting or stamp-collecting (hey, it takes all sorts), going self-employed gives you the freedom and - crucially - the headspace to do it. You can even work as a self-employed nurse or GP while you pursue other training or prepare to make the leap to another career.
No more Sunday night blues. Or Tuesday night blues. Or Friday night blues. Hate night shifts? You don’t have to do them. Sick of weekend rotas taking you away from the kids? No more. Not to mention that mixing up your shifts keeps it interesting and fresh. No more feeling stuck, bored or plain old ‘meh’.
An end to workplace politics. Passionate about patient welfare but want to opt out of the politics? Self-employed is the way to go. As a qualified, experienced independent healthcare professional , you get to reap all the benefits of a lively clinical setting without any gossip, moaning or general unpleasantness.
You want hassle-free work. Once upon a time, being self-employed meant admin, admin and more admin. Now technology - and specifically, Nightingale’s new online platform - means self-employed is stress-free. The Nightingale platform is simple, transparent and easy to use on any device, and our sophisticated matching process finds the work you want in a few quick clicks. We’ve removed admin, paperwork and endless phone calls for a seamless online experience. Oh, and you can forget paper timesheets, too; with Nightingale, hours worked are auto-approved and submitted for payment instantly so you always get paid on time.
You want to earn more. Perhaps you already top up your salary or hours with the odd agency or bank shift. Well, with Nightingale you’ll be making more - up to 20% than with an agency, in fact. Because we cut out the middleman - and his/her exploitative fees - there’s more for you and even some left over for the service provider.
