About

Four years in, we’ve built our name on something the big agencies forget: real relationships. Honest, friendly advice, genuine availability, and placements that last. Whether you’re a consultant psychiatrist thinking about your next move or a care group that needs a registered manager who’ll stay, you get one dedicated team who knows your world. Providers like Cygnet, Priory, Elysium and Schoen Clinic trust us with their hardest roles to fill.

Joseph Simon

Director & Co-Founder

Joseph co-founded Royal Blue in 2022 to bridge the gap between care providers and the professionals who make a real difference. Specialising in nursing and psychiatry, he's known for honest advice, genuine care and always being on hand when candidates need him.

Away from his desk, you'll find Joseph running or training for his next HYROX race. That same drive and endurance goes into every placement.

Harry Hardy

Director & Co-Founder

Harry matches psychiatrists, mental health professionals and nurses with rewarding roles across hospitals and care homes. He's proud of the long-term partnerships he's built with providers and candidates alike, and of placements that last.

Outside of work, Harry's usually in the gym, and he brings the same consistency and commitment to supporting every candidate and client.
