  • As a company, we believe that our success is primarily dependent upon the quality of services that we provide to our clients and our staff. Renaissance Personnel is therefore committed to the Equal Opportunities and diversity policies. This means that we ensure that no patient, client or staff receives less than favourable treatment due to their personal attributes, colour, ethnic or national origin, appearance, marital status, gender, disability, religion or sexuality. We expect our clients and everyone who works for us to support us in this.


    We attach high significance on patient protection and safety; as such we do our best during the staff recruitment and selection process to ensure that all the staff on our books are of high quality and are recruited on merit.

    • An initial meeting is held with all candidates to ensure that they understand how the company works and the kind of jobs they are likely to be offered.
