Recruitment across the UK
Health and social care recruitment .
We help care providers hire nurses, social workers, care professionals and experienced managers. And if you're looking for work, we'll take the time to understand what you want next.
Employers and candidates
Tell us which side of the conversation you're on.
We work with care providers and people building careers in health and social care. You'll get a straight answer, useful updates and one person to speak to.
For employers
Need to fill a role?
Tell us about the service, the team and what the new person needs to get right. We'll use that brief to guide the search.
For candidates
Thinking about your next role?
You can tell us what you want, what you don't and what needs to work around your life. We won't send your CV anywhere without speaking to you first.

How our recruitment process works
Clear steps. No disappearing act.
You'll know what's happening, who's handling it and what comes next.
"We won't promise a shortlist before we understand the role. A rushed introduction wastes your time and the candidate's."
1
We get the full brief
We ask about the service, the team, the salary and what has made the role difficult to fill.
2
We speak to suitable people
We check interest, experience and the practical details before making an introduction.
3
You get context with every CV
We explain why the person may fit, what they're looking for and anything you should discuss at interview.
4
We stay involved
We help with the offer and start date, then check in once the person has joined.
Checks and compliance
We check what the role requires.
That can include identity, right to work, employment history, references, qualifications, professional registration and DBS status. The exact checks depend on the role.
"You should know who you're meeting. And candidates should know what they're walking into."
How we approach every introduction
Your Crown Talent consultant
The same person from first call to start date.
Who you'll deal with
One consultant who knows the role.
You won't have to repeat the vacancy again each time you call. The person who takes the brief stays close to the search and gives you a clear update, including whether there's much to report.
Plain answers
If we don't know yet, we'll say so.
Useful updates
What's happened and what comes next.
Honest advice
Including when the brief or salary may need another look.
Support after the start
The check-in once the new hire has joined.
