TTM Stories: Meet Robin, Multitask Attendant

Two years into his journey with TTM, Robin has found his rhythm. Each shift is driven by something small but powerful: the smile of a patient he has cared for. "The smile and good wishes from the people I've cared for make me happy and inspire me to do more," he reflects.

A friend's suggestion that changed everything

Like many healthcare professionals, Robin's path to agency work started with a word-of-mouth recommendation. "One of my friends suggested TTM to me, so I applied, got the interview, and was selected," he recalls. "I was a bit nervous about all the processes but the supporting staff from TTM made it easy."

That reassurance at the start made all the difference, turning initial nerves into confidence and enthusiasm for the work ahead.

Flexibility that works for the whole family

For Robin, one of the biggest advantages of working with TTM comes down to one word: flexibility. With a working spouse and children to care for, balancing two careers and family life could easily become a juggling act. Instead, agency work has made it manageable.

"My wife is also a working professional, and we have to take care of our children. I can adjust my duties around hers by working agency and life is going smoothly."

It's a reminder that flexible working isn't just a perk for many healthcare workers, it's what makes the job sustainable long-term.

Advice for anyone thinking about agency healthcare work

Robin's message to anyone considering making the move to agency work is straightforward and encouraging: "You can request work as per your availability." It's that simple balance of control and opportunity that keeps him engaged and motivated.

After two years, Robin's verdict is clear: "I am happy to work with TTM — it is easy to find shifts, and I feel they have made my work life easier."
