About Us

Safehands Recruitment is an independent specialist division of the Partners in Recruitment Group (PIRG). The business owners are all experienced professionals within recruitment and the healthcare sector. Continuous support throughout the duration of your franchise is our commitment to our franchisees.

Own a specialist recruitment business and capitalise on the ever-growing demand for healthcare staff

As a Safehands Franchisee, you will become a specialist in supplying staff across every sector of the healthcare industry. Experience within healthcare is not essential. As a management franchise, you will possess the ability to establish and maintain relationships with clients and candidates alike. Above all you should have the passion to build a business that provides a vital and much-needed service, satisfying the growing demands of the UK’s healthcare market.

The Healthcare Sector

In a post-pandemic world and with an ageing population, demand for UK healthcare services is intensifying. The Government’s subsequent pledges to invest heavily in the sector mean more healthcare jobs and healthcare recruitment prospering.

Training and Support

In your first two weeks of training we will equip you with the knowledge and confidence you need to start trading.

This is a mixture of class-based and online sessions, covering our processes and systems, the legalities associated with our industry and the sales and marketing initiatives you will use to grow your business.

You will also benefit from our ongoing support in the form of a range of ‘back-office functions that we take responsibility for, this includes:

• Centralised payroll
• Billing and credit control
• HR Consultancy
• Compliance
• Health & Safety
• Marketing and IT.

These support functions allow you the time to concentrate on the business development and growth of your franchise.

Are You Our Next Franchisee?

Previous experience within recruitment, or healthcare, may be regarded as an advantage, but it is not an absolute necessity; we are far more interested in what you can do as opposed to what you have done. You will:

• Be a natural relationship builder with both clients and candidates
• Have the ability to confront the challenges of a fast-paced business.
• Have a burning desire to own a business where you can ‘make a difference’

Your investment

We can assist you in deciding the best funding option to get started. The Banks are very supportive typically lending around 50% of the required funds (including working capital). An alternative funding option is the Government backed Business Start Up Loan Scheme which is an unsecured personal loan of up to £25,000, that requires no personal funding (repayable over 5 years at a low 6% interest rate) meaning you could, potentially, only need £12,000 of your own funds.

Your success will be determined by the effort that you put in, as with all businesses. Demand for our services means that owning a Healthcare Recruitment business allows you to achieve a £million plus turnover at an attractive net profit margin. We will be happy to discuss specific financial projections fully on an individual basis, but, potentially, you could break even in as little as 18 months.
