As one of Northern Ireland’s leading Nursing Agencies, and a Tier 1 Preferred Supplier to all HSCNI Trusts, Leadcare Recruitment is recruiting Nurses from Great Britain for NI roles. The Agency hopes by expanding recruitment efforts to GB Registered Nurses in England, Wales, and Scotland will consider fulfilling Agency Nurse roles in Northern Ireland.
Whether you are originally from Northern Ireland and considering a move back home or are simply looking for an exciting new career opportunity in a different region of the UK, Leadcare Recruitment offers excellent pay rates, flexible shifts, and a supportive work environment.
Why Move to Northern Ireland?
Northern Ireland is an incredible place to live and work. Aside from the stunning natural landscapes popular with outdoor enthusiasts such as the North Coast, the Glens of Antrim, and the Mourne Mountains, the region is rich in culture, history, and entertainment, with world-class restaurants, renowned arts and music scenes, and various landmarks and museums, such as Ulster Museum, Titanic Belfast, and the Crumlin Road Gaol.
Compared to many other UK towns, cities, and regions, Northern Ireland has a comparatively lower cost of living, with housing, transport, and general living expenses being more affordable than in many GB counterparts, meaning the competitive hourly rates offered by Leadcare (from £27.00 to £42.00 per hour – PAYE correct as of 7th October 2024) can go much further, allowing you to enjoy a higher quality of life.
For those with family and friends in Great Britain, staying connected couldn’t be easier, as Northern Ireland is serviced by three airports (Belfast International Airport, Belfast City Airport, and City of Derry Airport). For example, a flight to Manchester takes around one hour, Liverpool 50 minutes, and Glasgow just 45 minutes, with flights often starting from as little as £35.
Originally from Scotland, Paul Strachan, Registered Nurse and Director of Leadcare Recruitment, worked in Northern Ireland for around five years before establishing Leadcare Recruitment with co-Founder, Stephen Ferguson. He said:
“Recently, a significant number of Nurses based in Great Britain have applied for roles with Leadcare. We realised there are many Nurses from other regions in the UK considering a move to NI, and we would welcome the opportunity to have a conversation with anyone considering such a move.
Separately, for Nurses currently based in GB who are from Northern Ireland and are considering a move back home, I would say there’s no better time to reconnect with your roots and we would love to hear from you.”
