Our Approach
Successful placements don't happen by accident. Before we put anyone forward, we conduct a deep-dive needs assessment, understanding your setting, your culture, and the specific needs of the people you support. Our data shows 98% of placements complete their full contract term, because we align candidate capability with your environment from day one.
This matters in education, where learners rely on consistent support figures. It matters even more in residential and community care, where continuity directly impacts wellbeing and safeguarding outcomes.
Who Do We Recruit For?
We support a mixture of settings across two sectors:
Education
Special schools, alternative provisions, pupil referral units, hospital schools, SEMH provisions, mainstream SEN units, and secure education environments.
Health & Social Care
Residential care homes, supported living services, community learning disability teams, mental health services, NHS settings, and day services for adults with learning disabilities or complex needs.
Our consultants map candidate skills directly to your provision type, ensuring staff have the right experience, and values for your specific setting.
