Testimonials:

Pamela
Since being referred to the agency by a colleague, the service I have received from my consultant has been absolutely amazing. My consultant has kept me well informed at every step, kept me updated, and is always there to literally just check on me and how I am getting on at each placement. They check in at least weekly or fortnightly! You are amazing, and so is the whole team at Hunter Mental Health! Thank you!
Adedmore
I must admit my experience with your organisation is next to none. I was allocated a consultant whose support and service are quality and exceptional. My consultant is a great salesperson and has been able to win me over through their relentless effort to see that the process goes smoothly, and it has. They call frequently to check and provide updates accordingly, and this is top-notch service worth emulating. For that, I will recommend Hunter Mental Health to anyone and everyone.

I have had a great experience working with Hunter Mental Health and especially with my consultant. I would recommend them to anyone looking for mental health locum work. In fact, I have recommended them to a friend who is also having a really positive experience. First class.
