We bridge the gap between international talent and UK healthcare providers, offering end-to-end support that includes navigating complex relocation logistics for medical staff.
Who pays Xander Hendrix Healthcare
Paid by the employer, not by you.
Xander Hendrix Healthcare earns a fee from the company that hires you, usually a share of your first-year salary or a margin on your contract rate. Their client is that company.
What that means for you
Expect roles that fit their open vacancies before roles that fit your plan. Ask which company a role is for before your CV goes anywhere, and apply direct where you can.

What roles and sectors does Xander Hendrix Healthcare cover?

Where you meet
How does the recruitment and placement process work?
Our process begins with a detailed assessment of your clinical credentials and your specific requirements for relocation to the UK. Once we identify a suitable vacancy, we manage the introduction to the employer and facilitate the interview process. If an offer is extended, we guide you through the necessary documentation and relocation steps to ensure a smooth transition into your new role.
What should I expect during my engagement with you?
Expect a structured communication cadence focused on active vacancies that match your clinical profile. We act as your representative to the employer, meaning we handle the negotiation of terms and the coordination of your relocation logistics. Our service is free for candidates, as our fees are covered by the healthcare providers we partner with for their staffing needs.
Your side
How can I get on the radar of your recruitment team?
To stand out, ensure your CV clearly highlights your clinical certifications, years of experience in your specialty, and your current registration status. Submit your profile through our formal portal and include a cover letter detailing your specific interest in relocating to the UK. We prioritize candidates who have already initiated the necessary professional registration processes required for practice in Britain.
Is Xander Hendrix Healthcare the right fit for my career move?
We are an ideal partner if you are a qualified medical professional seeking a permanent position in the UK and require assistance with the relocation process. If you are looking for temporary or locum work, or if you are not yet qualified to practice in the UK, our services may not align with your immediate needs. We are best suited for those ready to commit to a long-term career move within the British healthcare system.

Frequently asked questions
Does registering with Xander Hendrix Healthcare prevent me from applying to other agencies?
No, you are free to register with multiple agencies. However, we recommend transparency so that we do not submit your profile to the same employer twice, which can cause administrative complications.
What happens to my personal data and medical credentials after I submit them?
Your data is stored securely and used exclusively for the purpose of matching you with relevant healthcare vacancies. We never share your sensitive information with potential employers without your explicit consent for each specific role.
What should I do if I have not heard back after submitting my application?
If you do not receive a response within two weeks, it typically means we do not have a current vacancy that matches your specific clinical specialty. You are welcome to reach out again if your qualifications or relocation timeline change.
How does your agency differ from a direct application to a hospital?
While a direct application is always an option, we provide additional value through relocation support, guidance on UK clinical standards, and advocacy during the offer negotiation phase. We help navigate the complexities of international hiring that a direct applicant might find challenging.
