What Trace does
Trace Healthcare Ltd (Company No. 17070826, registered in England & Wales) operates a direct staffing marketplace for the UK health and social care sector. Care homes, NHS trusts, and support services post shifts; verified workers apply directly. There is no agency middleman, no hidden markup, and no commission deducted from worker pay.
- Workers keep 100% of their take-home pay with optional next-day payouts.
- Employers pay a flat, transparent 20% facilitation fee — no agency markup.
- All workers are DBS-checked, professionally registered (NMC / HCPC where applicable), and Right-to-Work verified.
- Compliance is continuously monitored via Credentially with three-tier expiry gating.
- Payments are held in escrow via Stripe Connect and released on timesheet approval.
