Testimonials

  • Local authority

    "We used Spencer Clarke Group when we were short staffed and needed someone in as quickly as possible.

    At the time, it was challenging because the service needs were not being met and the statutory deadlines were being missed.

    Our consultant put me in touch with candidates with the relevant experience to recruit on a temporary basis. They were all high calibre candidates and suitable for our roles in social care.

    It has impacted our business in a positive way because it means that we can sustain a good working relationship with the other services."

    "Due to an internal cyber attack, we needed extra brokerage staff to support an increase in workload and a more manual way of working.

    It was a challenging period because there was an increased workload and an increased pressure to support adults who need adult social care coming out of hospitals.

    Spencer Clarke Group provided well screened CVs of people who had the correct skills and availability.

    The staff fit really well into the main team and have produced excellent work - we have extended all the candidates' contracts which demonstrates how happy we were with them."

    After studying health and social care at college and discovering my love for helping others, a career in health & social care recruitment seemed like a no-brainer. I’m also a passionate fitness instructor which is a great way to unwind after a busy day recruiting.

    I have recruited within healthcare for a number of years and my love for it is as strong as day one. It’s such a rewarding sector and after spreading my wings into social care, I couldn’t feel more fulfilled in my career.
