Direct Healthcare 24

Direct Healthcare 24 (often trading as DH24) is a UK-based healthcare recruitment and domiciliary care provider. The organisation specialises in the staffing and placement of qualified healthcare professionals into the NHS and private sectors, while also delivering regulated home care services for children and adults with complex needs.

Who We Are

Direct Healthcare 24 operates as a strategic workforce partner and a CQC-regulated care provider. Headquartered in the City of London, the organisation functions as a dual-purpose entity: a recruitment agency that sources specialist nurses and healthcare assistants, and a clinical service provider that manages Direct Homecare.

The company is led by a management team focused on compliance and clinical excellence. Their model is designed to alleviate pressure on the healthcare system by providing a "on-demand" workforce and professional in-home nursing that prevents unnecessary hospital stays.

They maintain a high level of operational integrity, ensuring all staff undergo a free and rigorous registration process, which includes thorough vetting and skill assessments to match the requirements of both clinical environments and private households.
