Founder & Managing Director – Nursefirst Recruitment  

Hi, I’m Vanessa — a nurse originally from Brazil with over 15 years of experience in the healthcare industry. Throughout my career, I’ve had the privilege of working both on the frontlines as a nurse and behind the scenes as a healthcare recruiter. This dual perspective has shaped my deep understanding of what both nurses and healthcare services truly need.

Nursefirst Recruitment was born from my passion for helping people — not just patients, but the incredible nurses who care for them. I’m dedicated to connecting qualified, compassionate professionals with meaningful roles, and ensuring our nurses feel supported, valued, and excited about where they’re headed.

Whether you're a nurse looking for the right opportunity, or a health service seeking standout professionals, I’m here to make the match — thoughtfully, personally, and with heart.
