Frequently Asked Questions

How quickly can you provide emergency care home staff cover?›
As a local care home staffing agency, we understand that staffing emergencies can't wait. As an Ipswich-based team, we move quickly to assess your needs and identify available, compliant staff — often able to confirm cover the same day for urgent requests. For immediate emergencies call 0330 1234 630 or out of hours 07508 997 877.
Do you only cover Suffolk, or can you supply staff further afield?›
While Suffolk and East Anglia are where we are based, we supply healthcare staff to care providers across the UK, including London, Bristol, Leeds, Kent and beyond.
What checks do your staff go through before being placed?›
Every member of staff we supply undergoes enhanced DBS checks, mandatory clinical training, professional referencing and right-to-work verification, alongside ongoing competency reviews, in line with CQC standards. Registered Nurses are verified against the NMC register before every placement.
Can you provide ongoing, long-term placements as well as emergency cover?›
Yes. Alongside emergency and short-notice cover, we support care providers with planned cover for annual leave and sickness, and longer-term placements where a service needs sustained additional support. We aim to send the same trusted staff back to your service wherever possible so your residents build familiarity rather than meeting someone new every shift.
How do I get started with Advantage Angels as a staffing partner?›
Call our team on 0330 1234 630 Monday to Sunday 9am–8pm, or message us on WhatsApp at 07508 997 877. A member of our team will get back to you the same working day to discuss your service's needs and how we can help.

We operate in accordance with standards set by the Care Quality Commission (CQC), giving care providers confidence that the healthcare staff we supply meet strict regulatory and compliance requirements.
