Allied Health and Care Professionals

What Allied Health and Care Professionals does

Allied Health and Care Professionals (AHCP) is a Glasgow-headquartered employment business founded in 2024 that supplies temporary, contract, and permanent healthcare workers — including social workers, nurses, and care assistants — to NHS trusts, private hospitals, and care homes across the UK and Northern Ireland. With a headcount of 9 employees, the company operates three interconnected service lines: Strategic Staffing Solutions (placement into NHS and private settings for short- and long-term engagements), Candidate Placement Services (active recruitment for healthcare roles via an online job portal integrated with Logezy), and a Continuing Professional Development (CPD) training e-commerce shop hosted on its WordPress/WooCommerce website.

The CPD platform offers 25+ individually purchased online courses priced £25–£149, covering health and safety, safeguarding, mental health, and professional skills topics, with several courses carrying approvals from IOSH, IIRSM, the CPD Certification Service, and Gatehouse Awards. Ad hoc support worker and healthcare assistant shifts start at £11.94 per hour, with candidates onboarded through face-to-face interviews, enhanced DBS checks (including Children's Barred List verification), and right-to-work confirmation in line with DBS and Department for Education/Health and Social Care regulations. AHCP holds Recruitment and Employment Confederation (REC) membership and states compliance with GDPR and the UK Data Protection Act 1998.

Revenue is generated through two principal streams: staffing placements (markup on hourly worker billings across NHS, private healthcare, and more recently education and construction verticals) and one-time course sales through the e-commerce storefront. The go-to-market is sales-led, relying on the company website, an online job board, and direct outreach to NHS trusts, hospitals, care homes, and private providers; the website claims 500+ happy clients though no named enterprise logos are disclosed beyond a Skillshare and a generic "Platinum" placeholder. The company operates with no disclosed external funding, no subsidiaries, and limited public management visibility (only one named individual, Lerato M Mohlala, is identified as having signed the recruitment policy in December 2023).

Regional players

• Apollo Home Healthcare: UK specialist provider of complex home healthcare staffing, including live-in and 24/7 care packages. Comparable to AHCP on the candidate (carers, support workers) and care home/community buyer side, but with deeper specialism in complex home-based packages.
