Looking for a role in healthcare?

Our history

Our history is in the founding of health and care recruitment companies all over the UK. The oldest, Castlerock Recruitment Group in St Helens, was founded in 2002.

Since then, we have brought together leading health and care recruitment brands, including HCL and Medicare First, to form HCRG Workforce Solutions.

Today, we support hundreds of health and care organisations across the UK with reliable, compliant, and sustainable workforce solutions. Combining decades of sector expertise with a nationwide network of skilled professionals, we help providers maintain safe services and meet their workforce needs.
