What Makes a Successful NHS Recruitment Video?
Betsi Cadwaladr, Mental Health & Learning Disabilities
When compared with previous videos made for different areas within BCU that were released at the same time, statistics showed:
- 78x higher engagement on the MH&LD videos with a focused concept
- 15 second video views were 179x higher
- 576% increase in the amount of people reached
The new campaign was distinctive to the area (being shot on location around the Ogwen Valley), featured Betsi’s very own staff and was all tied together by a concept that was crafted to appeal to those individuals who like the challenge of working in mental health.
A Day in the Life of a Capital Midwife
- 12 hours of view time in the first week of release for a 5 minute short film
- 76% engagement rate within the first week
If there is one career in healthcare that is sure to make a viewer say: ‘that is what I want to do!’; it’s midwifery. Yes, like any other profession in healthcare it’s facing its challenges; however the joy of helping bring life into the world and helping new mums has a universal and instant appeal for those candidates with a desire to make a difference. The delight and fulfilment this job brings has never been more on show than the short film made in partnership with the Capital Midwife program to be hosted on a website also built by Just R.
Bradford Teaching Hospitals, Nursing
- 952 enquiries to the Trust and 59 offers made to Nurses and HCSW’s in just 8 months
- Estimated return on investment expected to exceed £1,070,000 after 12 months across the whole campaign
“The videos Just R produced for us make me so proud of our team. They have captured what it’s like to work at Bradford, showcasing our Trust values and the honesty of the people that work here” said Samantha Dawe, Matron for Trauma & Orthopaedics, Breast & Plastic Surgery, Rheumatology & Dermatology.
What could be a better way to inspire and attract candidates than by showcasing those who work there already with a genuine passion for their job and where they work? The campaign for BTH was just this, taking honest, open and natural conversations with their nursing staff and using that to showcase why the trust is such a great place to work.
Bradford District Care, Admin Services
- BDCT attracted 134 enquiries over just a one month period
- 393,835 people reached across social media as part of the campaign
Filmed on location in mental health hospitals, Just R’s video team was able to tap deeper into the heart of what makes an admin job at BDCT exciting and brought to life the inspiring stories of existing staff members to give people a fresh take on what it means to work in admin services for a Trust.
Tameside & Glossop, AHP
- 150 enquiries from a range of AHP’s over a three month period

These videos connected with candidates around the country and offered them an insight into what a career as a professionally autonomous practitioner looks like within the Trust.
