UK healthcare recruitment agency for employers.
Actionus is a UK healthcare recruitment agency supporting NHS trusts, health boards, private hospitals, community providers and diagnostic centres. We recruit for urgent locum cover, block bookings, fixed term contracts and permanent appointments, with compliance completed before the first shift.
How we work
What you get when you brief us.
- Compliance before the shift, not after
- Registration, DBS, right to work, references and occupational health are checked and evidenced before anyone is put forward, so a booking is not withdrawn on the day.
- Weekly approved timesheets
- Workers submit hours in an online portal; your manager approves by email link. You get an auditable record of every hour billed without chasing paper.
- One point of contact
- You brief a vacancy once and work with the same consultant through shortlist, booking, extension and rebooking.
Roles we cover
- —Nursing across ward, theatre, critical care and community
- —Allied health professionals including physiotherapy, occupational therapy and radiography
- —Doctors and specialty grade cover
- —Pharmacy, sonography, audiology and clinical physiology

Questions
Healthcare hiring, answered.
- How quickly can Actionus supply healthcare staff?
- It depends on the role and how complete the brief is. Urgent cover from an already-compliant worker can be booked the same day; roles needing fresh clearance move at the speed of DBS and reference turnaround. We tell you which of the two you are dealing with when we take the brief.
- What compliance checks are completed before a worker starts?
- Right to work, identity, professional registration where applicable, DBS or PVG at the correct level, references and any role-specific training evidence. The pack is shared with you before the assignment begins.
- How are hours recorded and invoiced?
- Workers submit hours through an online timesheet portal each week. Your approver receives an email link and approves or rejects the timesheet, which then feeds the weekly pay run and your invoice.
- Can you supply permanent as well as temporary healthcare staff?
- Yes. We work on locum, temporary, fixed-term contract and permanent terms, and temporary assignments can convert to permanent on agreed terms.
