The numbers
Comparable RGN agency rate in the East Midlands sits around £30-34/hr. Salstead delivers the same care, fully PAYE-employed, at the rate the worker chose plus a transparent platform margin.
Multiply your weekly agency spend by the 25-35% reduction. That's the headline. There's also no compliance admin, no IR35 risk, no agency middle-of-the-night call-outs.
Per RGN shift, East Midlands
£4.00/hr saved on every shift. For a 12-hour day shift that's £48 saved. Across a typical 250-shift week, £12,000+ per week.
From the field
We cut our agency spend by 31% in the first quarter. The workers know us, we know them, and CQC evidence is automatic.
