In 2025, Newcross Healthcare engaged our specialist design recruiters to lead confidential hires across creative and design roles. The assignment required sensitivity, speed, and deep market insight.
The result: a refreshed creative team, smoother workflows, and a foundation for ongoing collaboration.
Founded in 1996, Newcross Healthcare was built to remove the barriers between the right people and the care that’s needed. Now, they are one of the UK’s largest healthcare workforce providers, powered by technology, compassion, and the belief that better connections mean better care.
We have worked with the business since 2023, but most recently supported them in enhancing specialist skills within their design function
Newcross Healthcare identified the need to strengthen its creative and content capabilities with a Creative Designer and Videographer & Motions Graphics hire. The briefs were highly specific, and they needed a specialist recruitment agency they could trust to support on mapping out the market and approaching these individuals.
The briefs were complex. They were searching for candidates who could deliver a mix of creative, visual, and digital skills from commutable locations (ideally Bristol). The existing talent pool was narrow, which is where specialist creative and design recruiter, Yasmin Vachet, stepped in.
Yasmin designed a tailored recruitment approach that combined market mapping, direct headhunting, and carefully crafted advertising to attract these niche skillsets. Working with Newcross Healthcare, we crafted detailed job descriptions and search criteria, focussing largely on headhunting candidates in key geographies.
Throughout the process, Yasmin:
At offer stage, we supplied market benchmarks to ensure the right salaries were offered and accepted.
We found two excellent hires for the Videographer & Motions Graphic and Creative Designer roles. These hires have strengthened the creative capability of the team and our support enabled leadership to focus more strategically on brand and business growth.
Working with Yasmin has been amazing. She has a real understanding of what makes a good designer and creative, which made early conversations and screening of candidates a lot more relevant. Despite tight budgets, high expectations and urgent timelines, she managed to uncover real gems, even from less obvious locations. I wasn't always available but Yasmin kept me constantly informed, supported me with getting things moving, set up the right conversations, handled all scheduling, shared profiles in a consistent way and ultimately took weight off my shoulders when resourcing gaps were creating strain. Her ability to deliver on confidential, business-critical hires has made a huge difference to our team. Highly recommend.Thomas Michalak Director of Design and Creative
