Head of Theatre Division (Scotland)
I have been with Head Medical since 2018, initially recruiting locum GPs in Scotland. I was delighted to be part of the IGPR programme, recruiting permanent international family doctors for NHS England. In March 2019 we launched our Head Medical Theatre Division. We have a wonderful team of Theatre Nurses and ODPs who work in locum assignments across Scotland. Our clients are part of both the NHS and private sectors. I also recruit permanent Registered Nurses for Bermuda. In January 2020 I was promoted to Senior Recruitment Consultant.
I have seventeen years of recruitment experience within the healthcare industry. Over the years I have sent nurses and ODPs to the Falklands, Channel Islands, Western Isles, and most recently Bermuda. We have current vacancies in Gibraltar too. I love calling candidates up and saying “do you fancy a wee adventure?”

Senior Recruitment Consultant - Theatres
I have been with Head Medical for 2 years. I started my time here working on the International GP Recruitment Programme, helping to relocate GPs to London. I have since moved on to helping develop our Theatre Division, Supporting Nurses & ODPs with locum as well as short-contract assignments across Scotland to both NHS and Private hospitals.
I have 6 years of recruitment experience. I started my recruitment career supplying Nurses and HCA’s to Care homes and then progressing to working with Ward and Theatres Nurses and ODPs across Scotland.
I enjoy working with Head Medical because it is a friendly, supportive team. It allows me to continue doing what I know and love, working with people.

To me it is much more than just filling a post, it is doing the best I can to fulfil the requirements of the clients with the most suitable candidates.
