FOR CARE PROVIDERS
Whether you run a care home, domiciliary care service or children's residential home, the right appointment matters. I take time to understand your service, the vacancy and the people you need before starting the search. You deal directly with me throughout, from the first conversation to follow-up after the candidate starts.
Permanent and fixed-term recruitment across the UK for adult residential care, nursing homes, domiciliary care and children's residential care.

PARTNERSHIP, NOT JUST PLACEMENTA BETTER BRIEF
I recruit Care Assistants, Senior Care Assistants, Deputy Managers, CQC and Ofsted Registered Managers, Home Managers, Regional and Operations Managers, experienced Turnaround Managers and senior operational leaders. Every appointment is different, so I take time to understand the role, your service and what success needs to look like.
I manage the recruitment process personally and tailor the search and assessment to the brief we agree. My aim is to introduce people who have been properly considered for your vacancy, rather than simply send over CVs.

I start with a conversation about your service and the vacancy. Together, we work through the job description, responsibilities, priorities and the experience and qualities you need, so the brief reflects the role in practice.
Discuss your vacancy ↗I use professional contacts, LinkedIn, recommendations and other relevant channels to identify potential candidates. I speak with people directly, understand what they are looking for and explore their suitability before taking things further.
Discuss your vacancy ↗I personally interview and vet candidates against the agreed brief. This can include their experience, qualifications, leadership style, values and responses to role-related scenarios. I look beyond a CV to understand the person and what they could bring to your service.
Discuss your vacancy ↗You receive a candidate profile alongside their CV, explaining how their experience and strengths relate to your vacancy. It gives you a clearer picture of the person and why I believe they may be a good fit.
Discuss your vacancy ↗If you would like me to, I arrange interviews between you and the candidate, keep both sides informed and gather and share feedback afterwards. I help keep communication clear and the process moving.
Discuss your vacancy ↗I can support the process from offer through acceptance and onboarding, including discussions around salary, start dates and outstanding details. If you have an internal recruitment or onboarding team, I am equally happy to work alongside them or leave these steps with you.
Discuss your vacancy ↗I bring together the agreed candidate information and available documents, such as references, right-to-work evidence, qualifications, training records and DBS information where available. I can hand the file over in your preferred format and clearly identify anything still outstanding.
Discuss your vacancy ↗My support does not stop when the candidate starts. I check in with both you and the candidate during the first 12 weeks, offering a point of contact and helping to address any concerns that arise.
Discuss your vacancy ↗PREPARED, NOT JUST PRESENTED
You receive more than a CV: I provide a candidate profile that relates the person's experience and strengths to your agreed brief. I can also prepare an organised employment file with references, right-to-work evidence, qualifications and training information, and DBS details where available. If an appropriate DBS is not already in place, the provider will need to arrange the required application. I will identify outstanding items clearly. Your organisation remains responsible for verifying documents, completing the checks required for the role and making the final safer-recruitment and appointment decisions.
Discuss your recruitment processSUPPORT AFTER THE START DATE
I stay in touch with both you and the candidate during the first 12 weeks after the start date. These check-ins give both sides an opportunity to share how things are going, raise questions and talk through any concerns. I want the placement to work well for the candidate and your service, not simply reach a start date.
This ongoing contact and support is separate from the contractual 12-week replacement guarantee, which remains subject to the Terms of Business.
WHEN THE ROLE IS CHALLENGING
From strengthening a frontline team to appointing a registered manager or a service going through change, I can help you define the requirement and identify the experience and qualities that will make the biggest difference.
Talk through a challenging vacancyCLEAR FEES, AGREED UPFRONT
Every recruitment requirement is different. I agree the service, scope and fee with you before work begins, so you know what is included. From fixed-fee frontline recruitment to tailored management searches, my focus is on finding the right person and doing the groundwork that helps you progress the appointment.
