Keep your care hours on target

Ontario expects long-term care homes to give residents an average of four hours of direct care a day. Don’t let a short-staffed shift pull your numbers down: our screened PSWs and nurses cover sick calls, holidays and outbreaks, day or night.

Planning ahead? We also provide temporary, contract and permanent staffing, plus tips for Directors of Care.

Where we send staff

Long-term care homes, retirement homes, hospitals and clinics in Alliston, Barrie, Bradford, Innisfil, Angus and across Simcoe County, plus Brampton, Mississauga and the GTA. Our office is at 93 Victoria Street West in Alliston.

Common questions

How fast can you send someone?

Call (416) 831-7506 any time. We tell you straight away who is available and confirm as soon as someone accepts. The earlier you call, the better the chance we can fill the shift.

Is Bamwan a temporary medical staffing agency or a nursing registry?

Both, in plain terms. We are a temporary staffing agency for nurses and PSWs, and our phone line works like a 24/7 registry: one call, any hour, and we find the right person for your shift.

What do your staff bring?

Every RN and RPN has verified College of Nurses of Ontario registration. Every PSW has a PSW certificate. All staff have police and vulnerable sector checks, and we are bonded, insured and covered by WSIB. Staff files are ready to share on request.

Do you also do longer contracts?

Yes. Besides last-minute cover we provide recurring lines, holiday and vacation relief, contracts and permanent placements. See healthcare staffing.
