Supplying locum and permanent staff into Primary, Secondary, & Health and Social Care settings since 2011.


Operating Nationwide Coben Healthcare is your one stop shop for locum and permanent healthcare solutions across all healthcare settings.

We are proud of our reputation in the market as a service driven company who will listen and deliver at all times. Based in Lancashire we hold a leading position for the provision of temporary & permanent healthcare staffing across all settings.

Alex and her team have been an excellent locum agency to work with and have helped us secure nurse locums for the last few months whilst out current nurse is off sick.

They are very responsive to requests, friendly, informative and on one occasion when we were let down on the day by a locum, they were quick to update us of the situation and provide an alternative solution.

It’s great to work with such a lovely team

– Rachael K, Office Manager

We have used Coben Healthcare for many years now. We find them a good company to work with for Locum Cover. They are easy to contact and get responses. They are always there with a replacement if one locum cancels.

Would highly recommend Coben Healthcare for GP Practices.

– Sharon S, Practice Manager

It seems like two minutes ago but 2017 is when I met Chrissie. We have never actually met but I have every reason to believe she’s as happy in real life as she seems on the phone.

Always reachable and doing her best she’s never failed to find me a shift if I need one. I have never had a cause for complaint and would be happy to recommend her to any people who would like her as a team member or leader.

Our Values


We hold ourselves and each other accountable for demonstrating our principles through our everyday actions, focusing on our core values.

Customer Obsession

Our customers’ needs are at the heart of everything we do, we seek feedback and strive to resolve issues quickly and efficiently.

Ownership

We have a strong sense of ownership; we care deeply about and feel responsible for doing a good job for our customers and each other.

Be Curious

Be curious, not judgemental, we seek to understand situations and characteristics with an open and compassionate mindset. In an increasingly divided world, this is more critical today than ever before.

Take Action

Discussing our goals are important, but in the words of Picasso, Action is the foundational key to all success. Success exists because we pushed through the suffocating pressure to do nothing, and acted.

Be Brave

Success is not final, failure is not fatal: we strive to have the courage to continue, and that is what counts.
