Direct Engagement vs Traditional Agency Employment

Direct engagement is a workforce management service, utilised by some NHS organisations when engaging with agency workers. When your employment is on a direct engagement basis, this means the NHS trust you are working for will directly facilitate your contract, your timesheets, and payroll.

There are a number of direct engagement models, and generally, you access all of these online. Depending which NHS organisation you are working with will depend on the direct engagement online portal you will use.


This is what we’re here to explain.

​We’ve detailed everything you need to know about the direct engagement portal you’re using. Please view the above links to your chosen engagement model.

How does direct engagement work?

There are various different direct engagement models being used by NHS trusts. Generally, a direct engagement model offers you access to an easy-to-use online portal, where you manage the terms of your employment, submit your timesheets, access pension schemes and receive payments, all directly with the NHS trust you’re working with.

Not all direct engagement models are the same, which we will explain to you.

Using a direct engagement portal means you will agree to the NHS trust’s terms and conditions for the duration of your placement.

As you are paid directly by the NHS trust, there is potential for a more regulated pay system as the NHS has influence over healthcare professionals’ rates of pay. Also, every hour worked through direct engagement saves your trust money that can be reinvested into the NHS.

If you have any questions regarding direct engagement, please reach out to our team on 0208 505 6600.
