Healthcare branch bringing 25 posts
Dozens of jobs are to be created after a national healthcare firm opened a branch in Shropshire.
Newcross Healthcare Solutions, which provides staff for public, private and individual clients, has opened a new office on Shrewsbury Business Park.
The move has created 25 jobs, which will eventually grow to more than 50.
The positions will be for for healthcare professionals and homecare staff, and will also cater for hospitals, care homes and individuals needing healthcare workers.
Shropshire-born Suzy Parker is business centre manager for the site.
She said: "I am really excited about launching Newcross Healthcare Solutions across my home county of Shropshire."
The company began in 1996 in Torquay, employing nurses, healthcare assistants, home carers and support workers.
Since then it has grown to more than 30 branches across the country, and employs more than 3,000 permanent members of staff.
It also supports clients in the public, private and charity sectors with their healthcare staffing needs, from temporary workers to permanent, full time teams of specialist staff.
Recent developments include a mobile care assessment app for use by a clinical assessor when creating a personalised care plan for a client in their own home, and free mobile apps for staff to manage their work.
The new branch will also come with a charity pot to fund local projects.
