An experienced director, Rachael Bagshaw founded Just R after learning of the NHS’ £3.2bn annual spend on temporary agency staff and its impact on retention, culture and patient safety.
It was clear to Rachael that the traditional NHS recruitment model was broken and a new solution was needed. So, utilising her 15 years’ business development experience, she built a team with the knowledge and skills to help the NHS do things differently.
We work with NHS Trusts and healthcare organisations to create and deliver innovative, digital attraction strategies. Our campaigns reach passive applicants instead of relying on active candidates found through job boards. Providing Trusts with the tools to deliver more effective workforce planning, our digital strategies help limit the over-reliance on temporary agency staff.
