We’re proud to announce we have been awarded a place on the new Healthtrust Europe (HTE) framework for National and International Permanent Recruitment Solutions with Recruitment Process Optimisation. Successfully securing a place on this new framework will enable us to support the NHS in addressing the healthcare worker shortage, ensuring a reduction in agency spend and increasing the number of permanent healthcare workers we are supplying to the NHS.

As we have been accepted onto Lot 1A of this Framework, Athona will supply doctors, psychiatrists, nurses and allied health professionals of all grades, bands and sub-specialties into permanent positions into every NHS hospital across the United Kingdom. Our position on Lot 1B enables us to successfully continue our international recruitment drive and source the very best healthcare professionals to join the NHS on a permanent basis.

Now, more than ever, ensuring the NHS is fully supported is the number one priority for Athona and we’re delighted to continue working alongside our clients to facilitate this.

Steven Anthony, Managing Director of Athona Recruitment, said of this latest announcement “I’m incredibly proud that Athona is able to support the NHS even further now with our acceptance onto the HTE National and International Permanent Recruitment Solutions Framework.
