    A little bit about who we are and what we do

    About Valen Healthcare

    A specialist healthcare staffing agency and a CQC-regulated care provider, working across the UK.

    Who we are

    Specialists on both sides of the ward.

    Valen Healthcare does two things. We place nurses, doctors, allied health professionals and health science staff into temporary and permanent roles across the NHS and private healthcare. And, as a CQC-regulated provider, we deliver care ourselves, in people's homes and in their communities.

    Why the combination matters

    Agencies that only place staff rarely find out how the shift went. Providers that only deliver care rarely have the reach to fill a gap at short notice. Doing both means our consultants understand what they are asking of people, and our care teams have a national pool to draw on when a package needs cover.

    Care that puts people first

    Our care packages cover children and adults with high-level needs: complex physical healthcare, supported living, edge of care, hospital diversion, respite and end-of-life support, at home and in the community. Every one is clinically led, staffed by a small consistent team and coordinated by a named contact.

    Our values

    What guides our actions.

    The five we hold ourselves to across both the staffing desk and the care teams, and the ones we would want you to hold us to.

    Meet the team

    Who you'll actually be dealing with.

    Three teams, one office. Each has a named person on the other end of the line.

    The Staffing Desk

    Nursing · Medical · AHP/HSS · International

    Specialist consultants who each cover one discipline rather than everything at once, plus an on-call team that runs outside office hours. They handle compliance, bookings and the awkward conversations about what is genuinely available.

    The Care Team

    Complex care · Supported living · Community

    Registered nurses, support workers and care coordinators delivering packages in people's homes and communities. Every package has a named coordinator, so families have one number to ring rather than a switchboard.

    Compliance & Quality

    Vetting · Auditing · Training

    The team that checks every DBS, PIN and reference before a first shift and keeps auditing afterwards. They also run the free training programme available to all registered candidates.
