temporary placement
Short-term positioning
Temporary placement is an arrangement where someone—typically an employee or a child in foster care—is assigned to a position or setting for a limited time.
In employment, it often refers to workers supplied by staffing agencies for short-term assignments: The company relies on temporary placements during busy seasons.
In child welfare, it describes housing a child with caregivers until a permanent solution is found.
