Just like humans, bears can be empathetic, apprehensive, joyful and playful. They’re all individuals with different personalities… which is why we chose Big Bear as a name for our healthcare recruitment agency. We bring together unique people for specialist roles, who share the desire to protect, care and nurture wherever they work. 

Bears also depend on their acute sense of smell for information about the world around them. Like them, we’ve got a good nose for an opportunity. 
Established in 2013 and acquired by Hexad Associates in March 2017, Big Bear is now part of a larger family which also includes Regional Recruitment Services and Contact24. 

Driven to deliver exceptional service with empathy, we focused our recruitment expertise on the healthcare sector – nursing is a profession characterised by its caring approach and its desire to make a difference to how people feel. We share those values and that commitment. 

Bridging talent with opportunity is what inspires us. As experts, we offer broad knowledge of many care specialities which makes it easier for us to link candidates with employers. 

Our goal is to be recognised as the UK’s preferred agency for sourcing and supplying specialist nursing and healthcare personnel. We already work with some of the UK’s largest and most respected care organisations, including The Priory, Embrace and Partnerships in Care, and we’re ready to expand into other sectors.
