United Medical Group Acquires Jarrodean Healthcare Recruitment

United Medical Group have today announced the acquisition of Jarrodean Personnel Ltd trading as Jarrodean Healthcare Recruitment for an undisclosed amount.

United Medical Group CEO Darlington Mhungu said: 

“This acquisition represents a natural and important progression in our strategy to expand across key sectors of the healthcare industry. United Medical Group has long held focus in complex care provision and temporary staffing solutions, and bringing Jarrodean into our organisation strengthens our presence in permanent healthcare recruitment, a space where innovation, quality, and professionalism matter more than ever. 

Jarrodean has built an outstanding reputation for exceptional service delivery and a consistently high standard of professional conduct. These are exactly the qualities we look for when choosing partners to join our group. Their approach aligns perfectly with our mission to grow by working with organisations that set the benchmark in their field.

I am personally proud to welcome Jarrodean to United Medical Group. Their expertise and values complement our own, and together we are well-positioned to deliver even greater impact across the healthcare sector”.

Jarrodean was established in 2012 by industry veteran Shayne Parfrey a former Registered Nurse from Australia who has spent the last 28 years in UK Healthcare Recruitment. Shayne said: 

‘The growth of Jarrodean and its reputation for clinical credibility in an industry that often struggles to enjoy such a high level of respect among clinical leaders has been my greatest source of personal and professional pride. 

I am delighted to have been asked to remain as Managing Director and look forward to joining forces with the team at United Medical Group. Their Mental Health and Learning Disabilities expertise partners perfectly with the Adult/General Nursing backgrounds of the current Jarrodean team’
