I had a wonderful experience with Shire Health care Services. I worked with Lena, who was truly amazing. Lena was in regular communication and kept me up to date every step of the way. Lena was very supportive, very professional and very resilient in supporting me, including to obtain references from a company I stopped working for 5 years ago. Thanks to her support and guidance I have been successful in securing a role in the health care industry. Lena checked in regularly and made the process completely stress free. She was genuinely invested in helping me succeed. I highly recommend Shire to anyone.

I wanted to take a moment to share my excellent experience working with Lena and her recruitment team. From our very first interaction, they demonstrated exceptional professionalism and genuine care for finding the right fit.

Lena was incredibly responsive throughout the entire process, keeping me informed at every stage and always making herself available to answer questions. Her team's attention to detail was impressive – they took the time to truly understand my skills, career goals, and what I was looking for in my next role.

What set them apart was their personalised approach. Rather than treating me like just another candidate, they invested time in getting to know me and provided thoughtful guidance that went beyond simply matching resumes to job descriptions. Their industry knowledge and insights were invaluable in helping me prepare for the interview and make informed decisions.

The communication was clear, timely, and transparent throughout. Even during busy periods, Lena and her team maintained their high level of service and professionalism. They made what can often be a stressful process feel supportive and manageable.

I highly recommend Lena and her recruitment team to anyone seeking new opportunities. Their expertise, dedication, and genuine commitment to candidate success truly make a difference.

Jessica was absolutely brilliant in helping me and supporting me in the process of applying and successfully achieving my current position as a CBT Therapist at The Priory. She was really helpful both during the application process, sending me suitable jobs that fit with my qualifications and experience. Jess personalised the process for me, it wasn’t just a case of throw as many applications to services and see which one sticks! She really took the time to get to know me and really tailored the job opportunities for me.
Jess supported me through the interview process, helping me from her wealth of experience and knowledge as a recruitment consultant. She has been attentive, supportive and reassuring. Keeping the lines of communication open and especially following successful employment. Jess made sure that if I had any queries or worries that she would intervene on my behalf.
Jess has such a lovely manner, she’s very personable and professional. She is a fantastic Recruitment Consultant and deserves to be recognised for her hard work for her clients, both employers and prospective employees.
Thank you for your hard work and your support.

I reached out to Jess after I started looking for a new role as a qualified Psychologist last year and from day one she was just so understanding and helpful. Jess supported me across several months, sending across so many amazing positions but ultimately putting me in contact with the director of where I now work. Jess was so helpful throughout and no question was ever too much. I honestly can’t thank Jess enough for all her hard work and support, she’s the reason I managed to land my absolute dream role and I would recommend and have recommended her to so many colleagues! Thank you so much Jess, you’re amazing at what you do!

I've been working with Tom Lane from Shire and he's been an absolutely huge contributing factor to my overall experience throughout my application journey, he explains everything efficiently and has been extremely polite, professional and kept me at ease as I am quite a nervous person, he's been extremely accommodating and honestly even just sounds like he cares and is genuine in his responses, which are impeccable, you're never waiting long before he's checking back in.

Really great service. As a user looking for a specific role within the children’s care sector, I would wholeheartedly recommend Shire Health. Tom was informative, supportive and always at hand to answer any questions or concerns I had. I am very experienced at interviews and he offered his support and guidance without teaching me to suck eggs! He has matched me perfectly and as someone who has also had to employ and recruit in the past, he has took the hard work out of the job, which I’m sure the employer will be grateful for - as it’s always an expensive, timeous and sometimes arduous business recruiting staff. Thanks Tom and the team x

My experience with Shire, especially Tom, has been amazing. Cannot fault him at all. Very professional and helpful, from applying right through to helping once accepting the job. Tom has kept me up to date and even helped me with finding out the answers to questions I should have asked at interview but forgot!
Really friendly and makes you feel valued. Highly highly recommend. If I could score more than 5 stars I would do!

Shire Healthcare Services was very instrumental in helping me get the job I really wanted from the initial contact to the service through the interview process up until my start date and even beyond. They've given me a really strong base of support and Lena in particular was my consultant who helped me through every single process that I needed to undertake whilst also reviewing and updating me on every aspect of my job application. It's been a really wonderful experience for me and I look forward to maintaining a very good relationship moving forward.
