Integrated Urgent Care

When using a recruitment agency to support IUC service delivery, trust is crucial. Our clients rely on the understanding we’ve developed of the specific clinical knowledges required from setting to setting. From initial contact to onwards referral, and across the range of intermediate services, IUC clinicians and support staff must be knowledgeable, reassuring – and focused on outcomes.

In the case of temporary and locum workers, it’s essential that shifts are filled by candidates capable of delivering from day one. Maximum efficiency, autonomy and independent working are essential for clinical staff – and that requires high-quality, specialist recruitment.

Our goal at Connaught is to make recruiting in an IUC setting as seamless and straightforward as the patient experience its professionals provide. From autonomous advanced practitioners to clinical advisors, and from healthcare assistants to call handlers, our wide pool of qualified candidates makes filling temporary gaps in your provision easy – and risk-free.

Integrated Urgent Care is about enabling patients to access the appropriate care at the appropriate juncture. Our experienced recruiters maintain excellent relationships with professionals from across multiple specialisms, providing our clients with direct lines to expert locums and temporary staff who can keep their processes running smoothly even in periods of the highest pressure.

Many of our clients return to us again and again, some working with us exclusively. They do this because of the consistency of our candidates and the level of support we can provide. We see our function as not just filling a role, but enabling outcomes.

In this way, we supply additional capacity to those providers doing the same for the wider NHS, leading to better patient outcomes and enhanced system performance for all. Contact us today to begin recruiting more reliably.

Clinical Audit and Compliance Manager – London Central & West Unscheduled Care Collaborative

I worked as a 111 Clinical Audit and Compliance Manager for LCW for over 3 years and have worked closely with the Connaught team and the Health Advisors and the Clinical Advisors they supply to us. In my experience, Connaught has always supplied and employed skilled, professional 111 Health Advisors consistently. We can always rely on Connaught to provide the calibre of staff we need to deliver a successful service.

Client Testimonials

Deputy Site Lead 111 – London Ambulance Service

Every time we had a position to fill, the candidates Connaught put forward turned out to be the best for the job. I was particularly impressed by Connaught not swamping me with CVs but only forwarding those of people who were likely to be a good fit. Some of the skills we needed to hire were hard to come by as working in an IUC call centre is not like any other call centre. Connaught kept on proactively hunting for suitable candidates and never failed to deliver.

Due to an increased demand in our service, we had a need to fill Health Advisor positions. We contacted a few agencies to assist in recruiting temp positions. Connaught was one of them. The service, the prompt attention, the consistent follow up and the quality of candidates we got from them speaks well of their recruiting and screening process. I would have no hesitation in giving my recommendations to use Connaught.

Client Testimonials

Clinical Service Manager, North East Ambulance Service

Working with Connaught has been an absolute game-changer for our business and their team’s expertise, dedication, and proactive approach have truly set them apart. From the initial consultation to the ongoing support, they have consistently exceeded our expectations. Their team’s deep understanding of our industry and their commitment to our success were truly remarkable and without the invaluable support of the team at Connaught, reaching the funded establishment of Senior Clinical Advisors would have been an insurmountable challenge for us. We are immensely grateful for their partnership and would wholeheartedly endorse Connaught to anyone in need of dedicated allies on their path to success.
