Home Care
Home carers are required to assist those patients who still want to live independently at home. Sometimes these patients are ageing, recovering from a surgery or illness, managing chronic health issues, having special needs, or living with a disability.
Home care is adapted to fit the patient’s unique requirements. This type of care is to provide support and contentment for the patient’s family. Many positions are regularly available for home care staff, and we eagerly await your application form to join our medical recruitment agency in London.
NHS & Private Hospitals
NHS took root in the heart of the UK medical sphere in 1948. Their principles centre around the idea that quality healthcare should be available to all. They believe in putting patients first by giving those who need to access healthcare the care they deserve based on clinical need, rather than the ability to pay.
Basically, it’s the conglomerate term for the publicly financed healthcare systems of the United Kingdom. Because this system of healthcare establishments is so well funded by the public, there really aren’t that many private hospitals. However, we can place you in a private hospital if the opportunity arises.
Private/Residential Care Homes
Residential care homes are very similar to nursing care homes. Both provide comfortable, homely bedrooms, often with ensuites and shared communal facilities. Residential Care Homes offer 24/7 support to residents. However, Residential Care Homes provide basic support with day-to-day perks.
These include meals, housekeeping, washing, or dressing, and are available on either a long- or short-term basis. If the purpose of moving into care is because of overall support with daily tasks, or for the company of others, then residential care may be a great option.
Community Care Centres
Community care centres are also known as community hospitals in the UK. Most community care centres fall under the NHS. These centres are usually for those areas that are far from a medical centre, like a hospital.
They provide a range of services to the local community, including community beds, maternity, clinics, minor injuries units, X-ray departments, and more! There are over 500 community care centres throughout the UK.
Prison Healthcare Jobs
Prison healthcare jobs are in demand throughout the UK. Because it is a high-risk facility and an even higher-risk medical establishment; shift compensation is always generous. We are affiliated with the National Healthcare System as well as G4S Security Services, a private sector in the UK.
Due to these affiliations, you will be able to get placements at high-risk facilities and work shifts. When it comes to medical services, prisoners are entitled to receive the same care within the facility as those outside the facility receive.
Hospital Trusts / NHS Trusts
Hospital trusts are also known as acute trusts. They provide secondary health services within the English National Service. It is an organisation, a legal entity, set up by the order of the Secretary of State. In simpler terms, trusts are responsible for effectively running hospitals in a certain area. There are several hospitals and establishments under a trust, and they need to ensure that these hospitals operate effectively.
Thus, they ensure that there are efficient hospital services, community services, and/or other aspects of patient care. Sometimes, when there is a lack of staff at any one of these facilities, Hospital Trusts may act as the middleman to ensure that there are medical services provided.

Our Clients and Your Travel Costs
A question our consultants get asked often is whether our clients’ medical establishments are willing to pay for travel costs. It all depends on the distance from your residence, and if our clients are willing to provide financial aid for your commute. If it is an emergency, and you as a medical professional are the only option available to that establishment in need, chances are they will pay your travelling costs.
