Recruitment, training and healthcare services provider H1 Healthcare has begun further operations on opposite sides of the UK as it expands into the West Country and Norfolk.

It is now recruiting for registered nurses, care assistants and support workers in those new areas.

This is the latest geographical expansion for the Aberdeen-headquartered company, which started working in Northern Ireland in September and, earlier this year, opened an office in Worcester.

H1 Healthcare was founded in 2002 by nurse Pamela Easen, who remains the firm’s chief executive.
