Hiring? Attract & recruit clinical, nursing, care & support candidates

A photo from one of our pages promoting Care UK

Nurses.co.uk offers recruitment marketing services to connect healthcare recruiters with qualified nurses, clinicians, AHPs and care & support staff.

Recruiters (agency and in-house) advertise jobs for healthcare and care staff, and use our CV search. When customers use Nurses.co.uk their jobs also appear on Socialcare.co.uk and Healthjobs.co.uk (where relevant).

Our employer marketing and job board services connect our audience of passive and active candidates with talent acquisition teams in a range of organisations, including the NHS, private hospitals, care homes, primary care, charities, hospices, local services and home care, as well as recruitment businesses operating in health and care.

In the year to December 2024 we welcomed an audience of 1.5m users. These users include AHPs, HCAs, HCSWs, midwives, home managers and other clinicians and care staff, as well as nurses - find out which types of roles and jobs we cover here.

We also own Healthcarejobs.ie. If you would like to reach an Irish audience of clinicians and care staff, we can help.

80% of our traffic is based in the UK. We do not stop overseas visitors from reading our articles. Job advertising customers can choose to not receive applications from international candidates.

We rank well for job-related terms on Google

We have been online since 2008, and have published 1000s of articles by nurses and care staff about careers and jobs. Google sees us as an authority, which helps our SEO and Google position in the natural listings.

We're similar to Indeed in that we advertise jobs to active job seekers. In terms of share of voice in our sector we stack up well.

How we compare to other job sites

But we're also a publisher of Learning and Development content. This means a large number of our users are passive candidates.

Active jobseekers make up just 30% of the workforce. To reach the 70% majority of the jobseeking audience we publish content to attract them, and help our customers engage with them.
