TTM’s Specialist Nursing Team
Nurses are the foundation of healthcare – the heart of patient well-being and support. At TTM we recognise this by making sure we offer you, as a nurse, the opportunities you’re looking for, in the right setting, with the benefits you want. As a result, we are recognised as Ireland’s leading nursing recruitment agency. In this blog we’re taking a closer look at our Nursing Division to see how this premium team of focused professionals supports you and your nursing journey.
The TTM Nursing division places candidates on a Temporary, Contract and Permanent basis and across a wide range of nursing specialities. From acute hospitals to community units, elderly care, paediatrics, intellectual disability services and mental health services, TTM nurses work in all healthcare environments.
First Choice of the Best Jobs
Earlier this year TTM was awarded Tier One status by the HSE for the provision of agency nurses nationwide. This means our Locum Nurses have first choice on all Agency HSE shifts across the country. Our nurses have access to the best jobs as they come available, when they want them and where they want them. It means flexibility, choice and no shortage of work.
We’re also the largest nursing recruitment agency in Ireland for private and voluntary organisations, and there are plenty of opportunities for Nurses who prefer Permanent or Contract roles.
