Terms for booking Maternity Nurses ONLY

PLEASE NOTE Maternity Fees will vary between candidates and all maternity nurses will have their own individual terms and conditions. These will need to be discussed with each individual, prior to engagement of services. The general terms of booking are outlined below.

As soon as the client has agreed and accepted a maternity nurse for their placement, the full agency  booking fee will be due within 7 days of notification to secure the maternity nurse. The maternity nurse will be offered other placements until the agency booking fee is paid in full.

If a cancellation is made for a maternity nurse less than 28 days before the agreed start date the Client will be required to pay the Maternity Nurses agreed fee against loss of earnings as per her agreed contract. The agency fee will not be refundable. For cancellations over 28 days the full agency booking fee will be refunded.

To book a Maternity Nurse a deposit is required, payable directly to the individual which will be non-refundable if the Client cancels the booking due to unforeseen circumstances. Conditions of employment are agreed between the employer and maternity nurse. These should be confirmed in writing between the two parties once a placement has been offered. Maternity nurses are self employed and all monies paid are gross. In the event of your baby being overdue, the Maternity Nurse should be retained on a % of the agreed salary from the original date of her booking in order to secure her services.

Should a Maternity Nurse fail to take up her appointment, the Agency reserves the right to offer a suitable alternative, if this is not possible the full agency fee  will be refunded in full. Any deposits made to the maternity nurse must be recovered direct from the individual and not the agency.

If the client cancels during the course of the booking no agency fee refund will be made and the client will be required to pay the maternity nurse all monies owed for each day of work completed plus the maternity nurses agreed fee against loss of earnings.

If the Maternity Nurse cancels during the course of the booking for any reason whatsoever, then any outstanding monies will be due at the equivalent pro rata daily rate. Full travel expenses will also be incurred. Any pro rata agency fee will be refunded per full week.

Where a birth occurs before the booked date and the Maternity Nurse is unable to fulfil either all or part of the placement and the Agency is unable to offer a replacement, no part of the agency fee will be refunded.
