Our services
From emergency cover to permanent placements — we provide the right people, compliantly placed, when you need them.
Healthcare recruitment
At Tender Care, we understand that healthcare recruitment requires more than identifying available candidates. It involves understanding service requirements, assessing professional suitability and ensuring that recruitment processes reflect the expectations of healthcare environments.
Our recruitment solutions are designed to support employers and healthcare professionals throughout the recruitment journey.
Service types
We source, screen and place permanent healthcare staff — from entry-level HCAs to senior clinical roles. Full candidate verification is included as standard, with a placement guarantee period.
Need cover for annual leave, sick leave or a short-term contract? We maintain a pool of compliance-verified temporary staff ready for rapid deployment.
We recruit skilled healthcare workers from abroad, including Irish diaspora talent, and support the employment permit process for eligible non-EEA candidates. All NMBI/CORU overseas recognition requirements managed.
Every candidate arrives with a complete compliance pack: Garda vetting, professional registration, right-to-work, references, training certificates and immunisation records — all verified and on file.
For Directors of Nursing (DON), Deputy DON, Clinical Nurse Managers (CNM1–CNM3) and other senior clinical leadership roles, we conduct targeted executive search.
Beyond placement, we advise healthcare providers on workforce planning, retention strategies and building HR frameworks that meet HIQA inspection standards.
Roles we recruit
All placements are subject to role-specific qualifications, registration, employment eligibility and relevant screening requirements.
