Our History
A note from our Managing Director
Reza Najafian is no stranger to the care industry. He opened a care service in Glasgow in 2013 and its main issue was finding reliable, good quality healthcare professionals. This gave him the idea of starting Staffscanner.
I knew there had to be a better way. Our app turns this model on its head. Care providers can post shifts, outlining the type of skills and experience they need. We charge care homes considerably less than traditional agencies, so the carers and nurses get a better rate.
The most important thing of all is that care services get the right person for the job, improve the quality of care and don’t waste money in the process.”
Our vision
Our vision is simple – we aim to be the most trusted, cost-effective solution to short-term staffing needs in the UK. We’re able to achieve this through our high-tech app which provides Care Providers with quality, temporary staff.

Reza Najafian
Reza owns his own care service since 2013 and has served as an Executive Director of Scottish Care since 2016, He understands the challenges and issues faced by care providers. It has become evident that the use of agency staff has become a necessity, but the high margins charged for agency staff impose a significant financial burden on care providers. These challenges, coupled with Reza’s first-hand experience and his determination to help care providers deliver the continuity of care that residents deserve, led him to develop Staffscanner.
