"I have had the pleasure of having George as my Recruitment Officer. Having worked as a locum Microbiology Consultant under several other recruitment agencies, I must say that he is the best officer I have had.

George found me an excellent job that met my needs. He goes over and above his role, always checking up to see what else he can do to make my job easier.

I highly recommend George to anyone looking for a locum job. He will enthusiastically find you the perfect job for you. Thank you George!"

"Joe has been most courteous and kind throughout, taking over at a time when things were very challenging. Always remaining kind, patient and professional. 
 
I have noted him to be highly motivated and passionate in sorting out issues I faced with regards to approval of timesheets and pay, some of which had been delayed for several weeks. 
 
Joe has always been contactable and easy to reach out to, he has an in depth understanding and compassion for personal circumstances, which is highly valued. There is an ease of communication that I feel made a huge difference. 
 
He has also taken the initiative of helping me seek out opportunities in the field of my interest, notably Cardiology, also taking into account pay, job specifications and safety around those jobs. 
 
I am very grateful to Joe for helping me during these past months as there was a lack of stability which has now gradually set in."

"We just wanted to say a really big thank you to Joe at MediLink for all his hard work and assistance in helping us cover our vacancies and on calls in both medicine and in ED.
 
His help has been really appreciated and it is always a pleasure working with him and their fantastic doctors."

"Joe at MediLink is the consummate professional. He is an excellent communicator and responds promptly to every query. His organisation is second to none. He takes pride in finding the best work for his doctors and maintains good working relationships with the hospitals they are contracted to. He has an excellent sense of humour and is a pleasure to work with. He inspires confidence that there will always be a steady supply of work and always gets you paid on time. I can’t recommend him highly enough!"

Last week, Conservative Chancellor Kwasi Kwarteng announced that the UK government plan to scrap reforms to the IR35 off-payroll working rules.
 
The plans, which won’t come into effect until April 2023, will see the responsibility for deciding employment type return to contractors.
 
News of the repeal, which came as part of the mini-budget, has been widely welcomed and has shocked businesses and contractors alike.
 
Recruitment & Employment Confederation (REC) CEO, Neil Carberry said: “Ditching the botched changes to IR35 – the rules on how temporary contractors are paid - is a huge help. These have been big REC campaigns, and we welcome today’s announcements.”
 
IR35 legislation, which has more than often made working as a contractor difficult, means self-employed workers providing their service through their own companies will again be responsible for paying the appropriate amount of tax and national insurance contributions.
 
Under current regulations, contractors working for a company often have the same taxes deducted from earnings as an employee, even if they do not always have the same employment rights, such as sick leave and holidays.
 
Kwarteng said: “We can [also] simplify the IR35 rules, and we will. In practice, reforms to off-payroll working have added unnecessary complexity and cost for many businesses.”
