South Wales

Nursing and Midwifery jobs in Cardiff.

Nursing is the largest single source of temporary demand in UK healthcare. Ward, theatre, critical care, A&E, acute medicine, mental health, community, district and primary care nursing all sit under this desk, alongside advanced nurse practitioner and ACP roles. Maternity services also remain under sustained staffing pressure, with continuity of carer, triage and birth centre cover all competing for the same workforce. Actionus books NMC registered nurses and midwives onto locum, agency, bank and permanent roles with full compliance, revalidation checks and weekly online timesheets.
