I take a personal approach to recruitment, focusing on individuals who are truly passionate about providing compassionate care. By building genuine relationships with both clients and candidates, I ensure that each caregiver is a perfect fit for the unique needs of the service. My experience allows me to tailor the recruitment process and provide continuous support throughout the whole process, ensuring that the placement is successful and fulfilling for everyone involved. I commit by staying in touch and always being available for any questions or queries, for moral support and guidance - It’s not just about getting you through the interview, there is so much more to consider! In residential care, it’s not just about filling roles - it’s about finding people who can make a real difference in the lives of other children and young people. ✨ 💖 #RecruitmentWithHeart #PersonalApproach #CareIndustry #ResidentialCare #EmpathyInCare #CompassionateRecruitment #SelfEmployedRecruiter #FindTheRightFit #CaregiverPassion #MakingADifference #TailoredRecruitment #ClientCare #CandidateConnections #QualityCare #ContinuousSupport #BuildingRelationships #MatchingPeopleWithPurpose #HeartInRecruitment #DedicatedRecruiter #SuccessfulPlacements

What Makes Us Different from Other Residential Children's Staffing Agencies? "Here are two key reasons why I believe we provide exceptional service to children’s homes: each client is supported by two dedicated back-office professionals—an Account Manager and a Recruiter. Here’s how they work to support your home:" Account Manager: Ensures a deep understanding of your home’s specific requirements, including the type of support needed for young people with challenging behaviors, learning disabilities, and other unique needs. Matches the right support workers to your home based on these needs. Regularly updates your home's coordinator or manager to keep the rota accurate and up-to-date. Provides hands-on training to each staff member attending your home, ensuring they are fully prepared to meet the young people's needs. Recruiter: Remains fully aware of your home's current and future staffing needs. Actively engages with local staffing job boards to ensure a continuous pipeline of experienced residential support workers. Recruits with a fast turnaround, ensuring that your home is never left without the essential staff you require. To ensure the quality of service never drops, no Account Manager or Recruiter is assigned to more than three clients at a time. This allows them to maintain the focus and attention your home deserves. #childrensresidentialhomes #childrenshomeregisteredmanager #supportworkers #ofsted
