A CARLISLE-based business that works with over 50 NHS Trusts and healthcare organisations across the country, including several in the northwest, is on the lookout for talented Cumbrian graduates.

Established in 2016, Just R’s mission is to change NHS workplaces for the better so its people can truly thrive.

Specialising in innovative marketing, branding and communication, Just R CEO Rachael Bagshaw says the company is transforming NHS recruitment, onboarding and retention practices, saving it millions.

Now, due to continuous growth, Just R is looking for local graduates to join its 15 strong team.

Rachael explained: “Since August we’ve taken on six people, including three graduates, and we’ve moved to new premises in Carlyle’s Court.

“We’ve experienced 300% year on year growth and, as our collaborations with the NHS and other healthcare bodies continue to grow, so must we.

“We’re aiming to reach the best home-grown talent by seeking out young people with the right mindset, values and motivations who have the potential to grow quickly. We recognise how hard it is starting out in a career. As a values-focused employer, we provide support and mentoring and we give our graduates lots of opportunities to make a difference and to be the best they can.”

Design graduate Rosie Mossop was the first to join Just R in August. Carlisle born and bred, Rosie returned home after completing a graphic design degree in Leeds this year. She shared: “I produced a website to showcase my work and promoted it on Facebook. Rachael responded and very quickly I had started at Just R as graphic designer.

“It’s been great to have the responsibility for developing the Just R brand and to work on client campaign branding too. I played a part in helping an NHS Trust recruit a whopping 46 nurses in one day, which is an amazing feeling.”

As for Rachael’s aspirations for Just R, she says: “We want to provide jobs equal to those found in the best companies in the world, right here in Cumbria. We are a team which supports one another to be their best selves doing fulfilling work, which positively impacts society. This means we have a company-wide commitment to excellence, making this a challenging and a special place within which I hope people are proud to work.”
