Our Story

About Us

We are doing what needs to be done to future-proof the NHS workforce and eradicate the over-reliance on temporary agency solutions.

Just R was founded by Rachael Bagshaw in 2016. It was through her involvement in a short project on behalf of an NHS hospital that Rachael made the discovery which would lead her to start the company – the NHS annual temporary staffing spend, which at that point was in excess of £3.2 billion. Rachael is deeply passionate about the healthcare sector and our NHS, and was compelled to do something about this issue. Her 10 year career in advertising gave her the insight and expertise to be convinced that there was an alternative, sustainable and less costly solution to recruit staff to the NHS and it hinged around employer brand and strategic, proactive marketing.

Just R is a team of Project Managers, Content Creators, Digital Strategists, Brand and Employee Engagement Specialists, all with a shared vision of creating working environments where people who want to be their best can thrive.
