Lewis O'Hara---my personal placement officer at Athona Agency.

When I thought about taking up some locum jobs as a Psychiatrist, I struggled to find the right agency and the right placement officer for me.

I finally settled with Athona Agency and have been with them for several years now.

I must say I have had the most brilliant and personalized 5 star++++ service from Lewis. I wish I could give him a 100 stars.

He makes the the experience working with him extremely easy, paces you and takes into consideration your needs.

Finally, as I move permanently into the Locum market place, he has once again proven that he was the best man to guide me into my new role. He has negotiated and fought for my views every step of the way until the dotted lines were signed.

I wanted to personally write this review so that the agency would know they have a gem of staff on their team. They are extremely lucky to have him onboard.

To those looking for a new locum role please Lewis O'Hara is the man to beat.

To you Lewis-----Champagne cheers.

Excellent all round service!

Athona was the first agency I joined and was so so good with everything. My recruitment consultant Tanveer Rattan was always very proactive in getting me jobs, always bearing in mind my peculiarities and preferences and always put in the effort and work to make satisfied. Payments were also very prompt and Tan was always available and addressed my concerns however big or little. I may not be working with agency anymore only for personal reasons and I would always recommend them to other doctors looking out for locums.

Excellent service from Gemma

The whole process of joining Athona and working with Gemma Pullin was fantastic.

Whilst applying for my first consultant psychiatrist post, Gemma provided a fantastic range of support from CV suggestions to interview tips, regular updates about job availability and much more. She demonstrated in-depth knowledge and understanding of the key points for a consultant psychiatrist post. She was hardworking, dependable and innovative, and with very little to work with (as I was not specific in my requirements), she managed to find me the perfect consultant post.

I have already recommended Athona to my colleagues and will continue to do so, Thank you Gemma.

I have had an amazing experience with Athona. I was looked after by Siobhan Harrington and honestly the best experience I have ever had. She is a superstar, who extremely professional and knowledgeable, who takes extra miles to make sure you are ok and do well. The support she provided to me was extraordinary, I felt I can count on her and I wasn’t “just a job” for her.
Siobhan really cares about health professionals and wanted me to succeed 100% and be happy. Honestly, if she gots involved , things will be sorted immediately and done well. You never really feel alone. If you got under Siobhan‘s wings , you will be supporter and protected all the way through and will succeed.
I couldn’t think anything that wasn’t just perfect.
So thank you so much to Siobhan Harrington Athona recruitment consultant. You really are the Best.

Experience with Athona

My experience with Athona was outstanding. Thanks to the team, especially Siobhan, I got my new job with the trust and I'm ok.

An excellent agency

I have been registered with Athona for nearly ten months with Lewis O'Hara as recruitment consultant. He is a true professional who has an excellent knowledge of mental health provision nationwide and posts available. I am updated on a regular basis with regards any opportunities and the communication is excellent. If you're looking for a high standard, communicative agency with a large network of opportunities, I thoroughly recommend Athona and in particular Lewis O'Hara.
