Frequently
Asked Questions

How quickly can I fill a shift through Lyna?

Most posted shifts are filled within 48 hours. For urgent cover in major UK cities (London, Manchester, Birmingham, Leeds), we typically see 2–4 hour fill times, routed to specialists with confirmed availability and matching credentials.

How are credentials verified?

Every profile goes through manual review by the Lyna compliance team before going live. We check NMC PIN against the live register, Social Work England registration, DBS / PVG status, Care Certificate, and right-to-work documentation. Renewals are tracked and re-verified automatically.

Is Lyna a staffing agency?

No. Lyna is a marketplace that connects healthcare specialists directly with institutions. Specialists set their own rates and availability. We charge a subscription to specialists for their listing, and a small placement fee to institutions — there's no agency markup or per-hour recruiter cut.

Are you CQC and IR35 aligned?

Yes. All specialists provide CQC-relevant compliance evidence on file (DBS, Right-to-Work, mandatory training), exportable for inspections. IR35 status is determined per-engagement using HMRC's CEST tool; we provide the SDS documentation institutions need for end-client compliance.
