2. Company Information

FT Professional Care Solutions Ltd is an independent healthcare recruitment and staffing agency registered in England and Wales. We operate as an employment business within the meaning of the Employment Agencies Act 1973 and the Conduct of Employment Agencies and Employment Businesses Regulations 2003. Our registered office is in Romford, Essex, England.

3. Agency Relationship

The Company operates as an employment business. Workers are engaged by and supplied through the Company on a temporary, locum or contract basis. Workers are not employees of the Client unless a separate written permanent placement agreement is concluded. The Company is responsible for paying Workers their agreed remuneration, deducting income tax and National Insurance under PAYE, maintaining employers' liability insurance in respect of Workers on Assignment, and ensuring Workers hold all required professional clearances before each placement.

4. Client Obligations

The Client agrees to:

  • Provide a safe working environment compliant with the Health and Safety at Work Act 1974 and all applicable legislation
  • Conduct a documented local induction and orientation for each Worker at the start of each Assignment
  • Not instruct Workers to carry out tasks outside their role profile, professional registration scope or clinical competency
  • Confirm Worker attendance accurately by signing timesheets or approving electronic time records promptly
  • Report any safeguarding concerns, clinical incidents or fitness-to-practise matters to the Company immediately
  • Comply with the Working Time Regulations 1998 in respect of all Workers on Assignment
  • Not directly or indirectly engage any Worker introduced by the Company within 12 months of Introduction without paying the applicable introduction fee
  • Hold a current CQC registration (where applicable) and maintain a compliant safeguarding policy
  • Provide the Company with accurate information regarding the role, clinical environment, patient/resident profile and any relevant risk factors

5. Fees and Payment

5.1 Charge Rates

Charge rates are agreed per Assignment or under a written framework agreement. Rates include the Worker's pay, holiday pay accrual, employers' National Insurance contributions, pension auto-enrolment contributions and the Company's margin.

5.2 Invoicing

Invoices are issued weekly based on approved timesheets. Payment is due within 14 calendar days of the invoice date unless otherwise agreed in writing.

5.3 Late Payment

Interest accrues on overdue balances at 8% per annum above the Bank of England base rate under the Late Payment of Commercial Debts (Interest) Act 1998, together with reasonable recovery costs.

5.4 Introduction Fees

If a Client directly engages a Worker introduced by the Company within 12 months of Introduction, an introduction fee is payable. The fee is calculated as a percentage of the Worker's first-year annualised remuneration and is confirmed in our fee schedule provided on registration.

5.5 Transfer Fees

Where a Client wishes to engage a Worker on a permanent basis during or following an Assignment, a transfer fee is payable. Our fee schedule is available on request.

6. Timesheets

Workers complete timesheets at the end of each shift or working week. The Client must verify and approve timesheets promptly. Approval constitutes confirmation of hours worked and authorisation for the Company to invoice. Disputed timesheets must be raised in writing within 7 calendar days of receipt. Failure to raise a dispute within this period constitutes deemed acceptance.

7. Cancellation Policy

  • More than 24 hours' notice: No charge
  • 4–24 hours' notice: 50% of the confirmed shift rate is payable
  • Fewer than 4 hours' notice or no-show: 100% of the confirmed shift rate is payable

The Client retains responsibility for conducting its own local induction and risk assessment, and for ensuring Workers are competent to undertake specific tasks within the Client's environment.

9. Liability

The Company holds public liability and employers' liability insurance at levels required by law. The Company's aggregate liability to the Client shall not exceed total fees paid in the three months preceding any claim. Nothing in these Terms limits liability for death or personal injury caused by negligence, fraud or any non-excludable statutory liability. The Company is not liable for indirect, consequential or special losses. The Client shall indemnify the Company against losses arising from the Client's breach of these Terms, provision of incorrect information or acts or omissions during an Assignment.

10. Safeguarding

FT Professional Care Solutions Ltd is committed to safeguarding the welfare of vulnerable adults and children in accordance with the Care Act 2014 and the Children Act 1989. Any safeguarding concern during an Assignment must be immediately reported to the appropriate statutory authority and to the Company.

Modern Slavery & Human Trafficking Statement

FT Professional Care Solutions LtdFinancial Year 2025–2026Modern Slavery Act 2015, Section 54

1. Introduction

This statement is published by FT Professional Care Solutions Ltd in accordance with Section 54 of the Modern Slavery Act 2015. It describes the steps taken during the 2025–2026 financial year to ensure that modern slavery, forced labour and human trafficking are not occurring in our business or supply chain.

2. Our Business

FT Professional Care Solutions Ltd is an independent healthcare staffing agency based in Romford, Essex. We supply registered nurses, healthcare assistants, support workers and care workers to nursing homes, residential care settings and hospitals across the United Kingdom.

3. Our Policy

We operate a zero-tolerance approach to all forms of modern slavery, forced labour, human trafficking, debt bondage and child labour. This commitment is embedded in our Recruitment Policy, Worker Welfare Policy and Supplier Code of Conduct. All staff receive training on recognising and reporting indicators of modern slavery.

4. Due Diligence Measures

  • We verify the legal right to work in the UK for every Worker at the point of registration and on an ongoing basis
  • We operate direct payroll to Workers — no deductions are made that would reduce pay below the National Living Wage
  • Workers are never charged recruitment, registration or placement fees of any kind
  • We maintain a confidential reporting channel for staff and Workers to raise concerns without fear of reprisal
  • Welfare checks are conducted during Assignments, with particular care for internationally recruited Workers
  • Where we use third-party recruitment suppliers, we require compliance with our Supplier Code of Conduct

5. Risk Assessment

The healthcare staffing sector carries risks relating to internationally recruited workers, including the risk of debt bondage through unlawful recruitment fees and document confiscation by unethical agents. We mitigate these risks by recruiting directly where possible, verifying immigration status in person, and maintaining direct contact with all Workers throughout their engagement.

6. Reporting Concerns

Anyone suspecting modern slavery or human trafficking in connection with our business should contact us immediately at compliance@ftprofessionalcare.co.uk or call the Modern Slavery Helpline: 0800 0121 700 (free, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week).
