People before process
We take time to understand the person behind the CV and the team behind the vacancy.
About QEY
Local knowledge, real conversations and a belief that the right people can make a lasting difference in care.
Our story
After more than 15 years in recruitment, including over a decade working in healthcare recruitment across agency and in-house settings, our founder Kieran Jefferies saw how easily recruitment can become focused on filling a vacancy quickly.
But in care, the right match matters. Residents deserve consistency and dignity. Care teams deserve colleagues they can rely on. And candidates deserve an honest conversation about the role, the workplace and whether it is right for them.
QEY Recruitment was created to bring a more personal, partnership-led approach to permanent healthcare recruitment across Northern Ireland. We want to help providers build stable teams and help local people find meaningful, long-term careers in care.
We’re a small, hands-on consultancy. That means you speak directly with us, get clear communication and work with someone who wants to understand the bigger picture — not just the job title.
What guides us
We take time to understand the person behind the CV and the team behind the vacancy.
We aim to communicate clearly, set realistic expectations and give useful advice.
Our focus is permanent recruitment and relationships that continue beyond a start date.
How we help
QEY focuses on permanent healthcare recruitment and can support clients with vacancy briefing, candidate attraction, screening, interview coordination, reference checks and right-to-work documentation. Our process is shaped around the role and the needs of each service.
