Success story
We have used the services of Stafffinders for over 10 years mainly for catering cover. The staff within Stafffinders have always been very helpful to fill the requests and have taken the time to visit the hospice to check the location, access and catering function. Planned cover has always been met and in most cases emergency on the day requests have also been met.
