Who We Are

As a Brazilian-born, UK trained nurse, the TENON Managing Director brings a comprehensive understanding of the international recruitment process. This is based on a detailed knowledge of the relocation challenges experienced by overseas candidates and extensive expertise in managing the UK healthcare workforce.

She qualified with a first-class honours degree in Adult Nursing from the University of Southampton in 2011 and is fully registered within part 1 of the Nursing and Midwifery Council (NMC) register.

Geoff Smith - Operations Manager

Geoff Smith has an academic background with two Bachelor of Science degrees in Open Science and Psychology which initially led him to an occupation as a research analyst. When his 1-year old son received a life-saving liver transplant, Geoff was inspired to retrain as a paediatric nurse and went on to gain a distinction in his PGDip in Nursing Children from the University of Southampton. Having worked the last decade as a fully registered paediatric nurse, Geoff has an extensive range of experience spanning neonatal intensive care and paediatric emergency care. Whilst providing leadership as a Paediatric Charge Nurse, Geoff was prominently involved in the development of a new Children’s Emergency Department. This ambitious project created a tailor-made space to enhance the comfort of children presenting with emergency pathology and also involved a 500% growth of the paediatric nursing workforce. Geoff’s special interests include human factors in healthcare, service improvement and nursing education. Geoff has enjoyed successfully mentoring numerous students and overseas-trained nurses who have successfully adapted to the NHS. Outside of work, Geoff is devoted to his young family and revels in opportunities to ride motorcycles and physically train with running.
