“We strive to enable the NHS to create working environments in which their people can thrive”
Our Story
About Us
Just R is a team of entrepreneurial Marketing, Brand and Communications specialists. We share the vision of creating working environments where people who want to be their best can thrive.
Just R was founded in 2016 by Rachael Bagshaw. Following a career in advertising, but with a deep passion for healthcare and problem solving, Rachael’s initial goal had been to drive change to the world of clinical research recruitment. After undertaking a short project supporting an NHS Trust to recruit nurses, she was introduced to the workforce challenges of the NHS and the impact on its people and those in their care. The success of an initial project resulted in the decision to take Just R in an entirely different path!
6 years later, Rachael has built a team which she leads alongside her husband Ian, who joined the company in 2022, following a successful career in International Commodities Trading and Commercial Strategy.
Meet The Team
Ian Bagshaw, April 2022
The NHS is a cornerstone of the UK’s society and effects how we all feel as a nation on an emotional level not just a physical one. When it's under extreme pressure everyone of us either directly or indirectly will feel the effect of this in our life.
Core to Just R is a passion to drive positive change to the NHS. We work exclusively with the NHS, the biggest employer in Europe and the world’s largest employer of skilled professionals. We have helped over 50 Trusts across the UK to improve the way they attract, onboard and ultimately retain their people. We believe that by educating Healthcare Organisations on the power of Marketing, Brand and Communications and connecting together the right people, with a focus on sharing best practice, we can create a positive change – enabling NHS leaders to transform their workforce.
We have taken ideas and inspiration from companies such as Google, Netflix and LinkedIn and built a highly-skilled, energetic and enthusiastic team full of exceptional people, committed to ensuring our solutions are the best they can be. We’re passionate about the skills of our team and believe strongly in the ongoing investment in world class training and development – enabling them to be the very best at what they do.
