NHS Framework Staffing

We’re proud to say we are a framework agency, operating on both the CCS Frameworks and HTE Frameworks for Temporary and Permanent staffing challenges, and we welcome engagement through these platforms.

Our status is a mark of the standards we maintain and the results we obtain for our clients and we pride ourselves on our exceptional compliance record – scoring second out of 370 agencies on our successful bid to renew our part on the CCS Framework (RM6281).

When a role needs filling quickly, or a provider requires a reliable, compliant and affordable recruitment partner, utilising a framework agency ensures there are no hidden costs or risks and providers can proceed knowing all staff have undergone the thorough checks they should.

NHS framework staffing is an ideal solution for rapid, straightforward, efficient recruitment solutions. Whatever your temporary or locum need, wherever in primary care you are operating, and however you need our help, we’re here to assist.

Connaught Resourcing works closely with NHS trusts to supply high-quality healthcare professionals through approved NHS frameworks. We’re committed to meeting strict compliance standards while offering competitive, capped rates that deliver real value. You can trust us to provide reliable staff who are ready to make a positive impact from day one.

Client Testimonials

Clinical Service Manager, North East Ambulance Service

Working with Connaught has been an absolute game-changer for our business and their team’s expertise, dedication, and proactive approach have truly set them apart. From the initial consultation to the ongoing support, they have consistently exceeded our expectations. Their team’s deep understanding of our industry and their commitment to our success were truly remarkable and without the invaluable support of the team at Connaught, reaching the funded establishment of Senior Clinical Advisors would have been an insurmountable challenge for us. We are immensely grateful for their partnership and would wholeheartedly endorse Connaught to anyone in need of dedicated allies on their path to success.

We have been working with Connaught for several years now to supply clinical and non-clinical staff for both our 111 and 999 services in the South East of England (South East Coast Ambulance).

Candidate Testimonials

111 Recruitment Lead – Derbyshire Health United

Connaught have been fantastic to work alongside and have really understood our business, they have been very successful in placing the right candidates for us at DHU. The credit system is working extremely well for us, it saves myself and the accounts department a lot of time as we don’t have to raise POs or Credit notes.

All application forms have been complete, correct and have met the job specification perfectly, due to this Connaught are our preferred supplier and we now work solely with Connaught for both 111 Clinical Advisors and 111 Health Advisors.
DHU have previously used other agencies alongside Connaught but we had a lot of issues with the compliance, references and application forms hence why we now solely work with Connaught.

Client Testimonials

Deputy Site Lead 111 – London Ambulance Service

Every time we had a position to fill, the candidates Connaught put forward turned out to be the best for the job. I was particularly impressed by Connaught not swamping me with CVs but only forwarding those of people who were likely to be a good fit. Some of the skills we needed to hire were hard to come by as working in an IUC call centre is not like any other call centre. Connaught kept on proactively hunting for suitable candidates and never failed to deliver.

Due to an increased demand in our service, we had a need to fill Health Advisor positions. We contacted a few agencies to assist in recruiting temp positions. Connaught was one of them. The service, the prompt attention, the consistent follow up and the quality of candidates we got from them speaks well of their recruiting and screening process. I would have no hesitation in giving my recommendations to use Connaught.
