Submit your CV

Once you’re settled into your new role, our friendly team will regularly check in and meet with you to make sure you’re happy within your role. We’re always thinking about what’s next, so if you’re coming to the end of your assignment, we’ll proactively look for suitable roles for you, as you build your career with us.

  • TEAM MANAGER, SOUTH EAST
    I started working with Paragon in March and their process was quick and effective. My consultant is always open and honest with me, making me feel I can trust their service. I was able to transition from Social Worker to team manager within 4 weeks of working with Paragon Locums within the same local authority, and that is a plus!

  • RECRUITMENT LEADER, LONDON
    I am confident in approaching Paragon for advice regarding the market and candidates’ expectations, and trust that their advice is honest based on their thorough understanding of the industry.

  • PRACTICE LEADER, NORTH WEST
    It was refreshing to see the calibre of candidates that were shortlisted for interview and their breadth of experience, which may prove helpful in the future as we may commission them to work with other parts of the service.
