Taylor Kirkham
Senior Consultant
Public sector recruitment specialist for Housing
I work across housing and executive support recruitment which is fast-paced and extremely rewarding. I take great pride in helping local authorities with interim staff to deliver high-quality housing services.
I love meeting new people and learning about their career goals, so a career in housing recruitment is perfect for me! I joined Spencer Clarke Group in its early days and have seen the company reach some really exciting milestones.
FAQs
If you are thinking about joining the interim market, it would be a good idea to give us a call on 01772 954200. There are different avenues to explore but one of our housing recruitment specialists can set you on the path which is right for you.
Once you’re registered and onboarded with Spencer Clarke Group, you will have full access to all housing jobs which are sent out on a weekly basis. The application process is then fairly straightforward, usually consisting of a 1 or 2 stage interview process.
There are no hard and fast rules when it comes to contract lengths but you can typically expect a contract to last between 6-12 months. However, contracts can last for years depending on the needs of the local authority which you are working for.
Working the interim market can be daunting if you’re not sure what to expect. It’s important to note that contracts are regularly extended. As we work with the majority of local authorities in the UK, there are always other job opportunities available. As your contract is nearing the end, we will proactively work with you to line up your next placement.
Absolutely not. You will always have full control of where your CV is sent. We will present job opportunities to you and you can advise if you would like your CV to be submitted.
It totally depends on the local authority but the majority of positions which we offer are remote or hybrid working patterns. The work pattern type will be listed on the job advert.
