The Children’s Home Recruitment company that’s here to Give Back
Built by people in the industry for the people in the industry
Are you a Candidate?
Amazing, we will give you 10% of what we get in fees.
Have you Referred a Candidate?
Great, we will pay you £400 when they start their new job.
Are you a Children’s Home?
You’re in luck, benefit from competitive fees, expert knowledge, and an initial payment of just 75% (unlike most other recruitment firms who ask for 100% of the fee from the outset, we allow our clients to pay the remaining 25% of the fee 3 months later, and it’s only payable if the candidate is still in post).
Can we do More?
Absolutely, in line with our ethos of Giving Back, we will make a £150 donation to charity for each and every candidate placed.
For Job Seekers
If you are excited by the prospect of becoming a Responsible Individual or Registered Manager for a new children’s home, you have come to the right place. We specialise in working with new services and pride ourselves on matching people who not only have the knowledge to pass their fit person’s interview with Ofsted, but also the enthusiasm to be involved with a new project from the ground up. If you’ve had 2+ years of managerial experience in a children’s home as either a manager or deputy manager, we would love to hear from you.
For Employers
Sick and tired of being sent CVs for candidates that don’t have the right credentials for the role? We eradicate that completely. Our lead consultant Kelly Kearn has previously been a Registered Manager of a children’s home and so we know exactly what’s needed in terms of a candidates experience and qualifications.
If you’re looking for a Responsible Individual, Registered Manager, or Deputy Manager to help your organisation succeed, we would love to help. We keep things simple, so after our initial ‘getting to know you’ process there’s no need to sift through CV’s or post on job boards, we do all the groundwork for you. And as you may have seen, we effectively pay any placed candidate a signing on bonus for joining your organisation.
