Following the success of its initial trial across 17 hospitals, Circle Health Group is expanding Circle Flex, its innovative self-service staffing platform, to more than 40 sites throughout the UK.
Developed by workforce solutions partner Retinue, Circle Flex provides nurses and other healthcare professionals with unprecedented access to hundreds of flexible shifts - bookable 24/7 with a single click.
The platform enables clinical staff to take full control of when, where and how much they work. With hundreds of shifts available every month, healthcare professionals can tailor their schedules to fit their lifestyles - while supporting patient care across Circle Health Group’s national network of over 50 sites.
Key benefits include:
- Hundreds of shifts available across all Circle Health Group hospitals
- One-click, 24/7 live booking via
mobile or desktop
- Paperless timesheets for a streamlined, hassle-free experience
- Same day payment (subject to terms)
- 24/7 support
Circle Flex was introduced as part of Circle Health Group’s commitment to innovation, operational efficiency and workforce wellbeing. Its expansion follows overwhelmingly positive feedback from both staff and site managers during the pilot phase (launched in June 2024).
Jon Bennett, CEO at Retinue commented, “I’m delighted to see how the Circle Flex platform is transforming the way that Simon and his team at Circle Health Group effectively resource their hospitals. When we first developed the platform, we knew it had the potential to revolutionise the world of workforce management, and I couldn’t be more excited to see the technology roll out across the group.”
Simon Mawson, Head of Resourcing and Talent Acquisition at Circle Health Group added, “It’s really exciting to see Circle Flex expand from a trial at 17 hospitals in June last year – to now being introduced at over 40 locations across the UK. Our workforce loves the platform and it facilitates our vision of blending the permanent and temporary workforce together, which ultimately supports the delivery of outstanding patient care.”
With the full rollout now under way, Circle Flex is available at all Circle Health Group locations. Clinical and Non-Clinical workers can register and access the platform via www.circleflex.co.uk.
