Northern Ireland's Newest Healthcare Agency Launches in Belfast

A new healthcare recruitment agency has officially launched in Belfast, bringing a fresh, people-first approach to staffing solutions for nursing homes and care providers across Northern Ireland.

Solos Healthcare, founded in 2025, aims to transform healthcare recruitment by prioritising the individual needs of both care professionals and healthcare organisations. With a focus on quality, compassion, and compliance, the agency is already connecting skilled Care Assistants with leading care facilities throughout the region.

Leadership Rooted in Healthcare Experience

The agency is led by Managing Director Troy Trajano, a registered nurse and pharmacist with extensive experience in healthcare recruitment both locally and internationally. Originally from the Philippines, where he also holds a private pilot licence, Troy brings a unique, multidisciplinary perspective to healthcare recruitment in Northern Ireland.

"The majority of my professional experience has been in healthcare recruitment, and I've seen first hand the impact that quality staffing can have on care outcomes," says Troy. "I'm determined to bring a people-first approach to care recruitment in NI through Solos. When care professionals feel valued and supported, everyone benefits - the staff, the care providers, and most importantly, the residents receiving care."

Troy leads a senior team of experienced recruitment professionals who work alongside HR and marketing specialists at the agency's Belfast head office. Together, they manage every aspect of the candidate and client journey - from initial enquiry through to successful placement and ongoing support.
