Nurse on Call Ireland

What Nurse on Call Ireland does

Nurse on Call Ireland is a private healthcare staffing agency headquartered in Dublin, Ireland, founded in 1981 and operating as a Tier 1 approved supplier to the Health Service Executive (HSE), the national public health authority of the Republic of Ireland. The company places registered nurses, midwives, healthcare assistants, student nurses, and direct patient care staff into HSE hospitals, HSE-funded worksites, and private healthcare facilities across all 26 counties of Ireland. Placements are offered on both 3–6 month contract terms and flexible 'If & When' shift arrangements, with HSE location and qualification allowances, holiday pay, public holiday pay, and senior staff nurse rates included. The company reports more than 500 client hospitals and healthcare organizations on its books and maintains regional offices in Dublin and Cork supplemented by county-level contact points nationwide.

The company's core technology consists of a healthcare staffing platform with online registration, an e-learning module suite, and a jobs board that lists current vacancies across HSE regions. A dedicated Nurse on Call Training Centre provides in-person skills development and certification for agency staff. The NOC Nurses Private Hospital Division operates as a sub-brand to extend placement services beyond the public sector into private hospitals. Marketing and recruitment are conducted through the company website, a LinkedIn page, a Facebook page (facebook.com/nurseoncalljobs), email communications, an RSS feed, and a structured 'Introduce a Friend' referral programme. The company is GDPR-registered as a data controller in the Republic of Ireland and processes personal data within the European Economic Area.

The business model is a professional and managed services staffing arrangement: revenue is generated by placement fees and margin on bill rates paid by healthcare facilities (predominantly HSE) for temporary nursing staff, with revenue mix weighted heavily toward public-sector contracts. Pricing follows HSE and Department of Health standardized rates, with location allowances and qualification premiums added on top of base rates. The company is privately held as Nurse On Call Limited, with no disclosed funding rounds, parent company, or public listing, and no publicly disclosed revenue figures.
