Cumbria-based Just R has won a contract to support the London’s NHS, supporting the hiring of hundreds of overseas nurses for London NHS Trusts.
An industry leading provider of digital recruitment solutions, Just R will work with Health Education England, NHS England and London NHS Trusts to attract and hire international nurses. The UK currently has more than 40,000 nursing vacancies, 24% of which are currently in London.
CapitalNurse was established in 2015 to ensure that London has the right number of nurses, with the right skills, in the right place, focusing on attracting recruiting and retaining nurses in a variety of settings, from hospitals and community services through a range of initiatives underpinned by collaboration between London’s nurses and collective leadership action..
Rachael Bagshaw, Founder and MD of Just R, said: “We’re very pleased to have won the contract to support CapitalNurse – working in London offer a fantastic opportunity for nurses to further their careers while working in a dynamic, and highly varied world class health and care environment. This is about hiring the nurses London needs, both now and in the future, in a sustainable way.”
Acting joint chief nurse for London, Jane Clegg, said: “CapitalNurse has been instrumental in creating a model of collaborative working to ensure that London trains, hires and retains the nurses it needs to provide the very best levels of care for our population. By incorporating forward-thinking digital strategies, we can use budget to best effect while reaching a much wider pool of nurses. The Just R team has an excellent track record and we look forward to getting the first campaign up and running.”
Since 2015, Just R has worked with more than 30 NHS Trusts and private sector healthcare organisations to attract, hire and retain healthcare professionals to meet both existing and future need. Using digital strategies, it delivers campaigns to find and hire the right people, at the right time, helping to limit reliance on expensive temporary staffing, safeguarding budget and resources.
