Proud to support careers and services that matter
Athona may have been established over 22 years ago, but we have remained a close-knit team of experts. From humble beginnings in 2003, with a sole focus on the traditional recruitment of doctors that grew to cover psychiatrists, AHPs and nurses; to 2026 where we have diversified our business in response to the changing demands of the healthcare industry. Throughout the years we have always recognised that, at our core, we are driven by a connection with our clients’ and candidates’ mission. We are proud to support careers and services that matter.
Connection drives us, growth powers us. We affect futures by delivering tailored workforce solutions that elevate people, transform services and shape the future of healthcare.
As demand has grown, so has our reputation within the NHS and private healthcare sectors. Today, we’re proudly on all major NHS frameworks and support many of the biggest private healthcare organisations.
More than just recruitment
We strive to affect futures. Healthcare isn’t just another industry. And being a healthcare professional isn’t just another job. The organisations and professionals we’re proud to support are at the heart of our communities, saving and changing lives, every day.
Our clients and candidates affect futures – and by supporting them, so do we. It’s a responsibility we don’t take lightly.
Our Values
These are the principles that guide every interaction, decision and placement we make. Not simply words to display on a wall,
they reflect who we are and who we aspire to be.
Connection
We build meaningful relationships that bridge talent with opportunity.
Purposeful
Working with clear direction and intentional drive, creating significant impact through authentic human interactions.
Collaborative
