We are pleased to report that we have recently (December 2010) undergone an independent audit process on behalf of the London Procurement Programme.
We were delighted, though not surprised, to be informed that we have passed very well, scoring 1306 marks out of a total of 1337 marks available; giving a pass mark of 97.68% .
This categorises us by Nueven, the independent auditing firm used by the LPP as “PLATINUM”, the highest award available to be bestowed upon an agency.
“Being a peadiactric nurse for several years and wanting to try something different in my field led me to join the well known Capital Group Nursing Agency. My experience with them has been incredible, particularly in the paediatric homecare where I gained knowledge in home ventilation and tracheostomy. Additionally, I have been able to buy my own 3 bedroom property and achieve a high standard of lifestyle.
Thanks to Capital! ”

“Lewisham University Hospital has had a long and successful relationship with the Capital Group as a preferred agency, across all specialisms.As an agency Capital are friendly, efficient, and interested, with brilliant communications and customer care ethics, which operate more akin to a partnership than a traditional client and supplier model.The agency liaises with us regularly to ensure that their service ensures they meet the frequently changing demands of a busy Central London Trust (even to the point of bonussing their staff to fill urgent requirements).
The quality of their staff is invariably good, and we at Lewisham have confidence in the professionalism of their recruitment procedures; and on the rare occasion an issue is raised, it is invariably treated in a very timely manner.
I look forward to a continuing partnership with the Capital Group.”

“I was able to request the jobs that I wanted and the team did everything possible to give the assignments I wanted. Capital also pay for my yearly updates to improve my nursing skills. I am paid weekly unlike some agencies paying you fortnightly. When I have experienced immediate financial emergencies, Capital have given me loans interst free and you would get the loan the same day. Someone is always available 24/7 to help you if you had any problems on your assignments. Capital has great and friendly staff who are always willing to help. What can I say Capital is London’s number one nursing agency and the pay rates match your worth in your skills.
Capital is like a brilliant nursing union in the way it looks after you.”

“How I came to be working for Capital Staffing Agency
I remember sitting behind a lady on the bus who had the Capital Staffing application pack, as she went through the form I overheard her discussing the rates of pay, I quickly took down the telephone number without her noticing. [That's a shame Michael you could have earned her £200 - Matt] I immediately contacted Capital Staffing and I was surprised at the friendly reception given on my appointment date. Before this appointment I was already tired of working for the NHS as I felt over used and not appreciated. Since taking on the job with Capital Staffing I have never looked back, or regretted working for them, and this is almost two years now.
I have worked for several agencies, but I must confess that Capital Staffing is a unique agency in their care toward those of us who are nursing staff and I am sure it is the same towards other departmental staff within the organization. The dedication of the office staff , ensuring there is a constant flow of jobs , tailored to individuals’ expertise is so encouraging. Also there are continuous developmental training programs organized to equip staff, which is excellent. Another benefit I do appreciate Capital Staffing for, is the financial support they do give staff when in difficulty, I don’t know of other agencies that do such. Indeed, considering all the benefits that can be achieved through Capital Staffing, I will not hesitate to recommend people to work for Capital Staffing. Well done to the staff at Capital Staffing and more grease to your elbow!”
