But, I don’t want to register with a supply agency, why should I sign up with Milestone?

How much does it cost and how much will I be paid?

Costs will only incur if you require a new DBS or OSPC, but don't worry - we can still put you forward for interviews while the applications in process, so you won't miss out on all the exciting opportunities!
