Hi Vicky, thank you for taking the time to speak with me regarding your available roles. I throughly enjoyed it. You are a very rare individual in the recruitment industry, I loved the way you spoke about the owners of the company, it was so refreshing to hear, you actually knew who they were and about thier personalities!. Im looking forward to communicating with you more.

I absolutely love working here and it's the best thing that has happened to me in year's regarding a job. The feed back I've had back from the Manager and Deputy Manager is fantastic. They are really happy with my work and are talking about promoting me soon. Thank you so much for putting me forward for the position, your guidance and setting up the interview, I will never forget this. It's a shame I can't send you a big bunch of flower's and a card to say a big"THANK YOU HUN" From Siobhan G Xxxx
Amanda Thank you so much for all your help and support with my application. I am very excited to start work with them and this new career step. You have gone above and beyond to support me and help with any questions and have put me at ease the whole process. Thank You ! Laura
Afternoon, Believe it or not, I have now been in employment for 12 weeks, time has flown! I wanted to thank Steve for your support during the recruitment process, that was quite long and drawn out, but now I'm employed, I understand why! I was quite anxious during the process and everyone was calm and encouraging, and then with your support I made the right choice in accepting the role. Its a lovely environment and the owners and the residents are great. I've been made very welcome and also appreciated for the work that I do. Thank you again, and keep up the very good work! Take care, Regards Judith
I just wanted to send a quick email regarding Paul Marsden. I have been working with him on a couple of job applications, and although on this occasion I secured another position elsewhere I wanted to say that without doubt Paul was the most professional and easiest to work with consultant out of the many I have had dealings with over the last few weeks. I really was impressed with Paul's professionalism but also personal approach. I will certainly be recommending him and SCE Jobs in future dealings I may have. Kind regards, Paul
I just wanted to say thank you very much for your help in getting me my new role in home care. I am so pleased and really appreciate everything you have done. I am loving my job and you were very helpful throughout the process. Many thanks Natalie
Emma at health & social care jobs was amazing. From first contact until the end she was always very supportive. She kept in regular contact and was always available to talk with. Emma always went the extra mile and made the whole process that I dread such a pleasant one. Anytime I was a little bit anxious or nervous she calmed me down and gave me confidence. I would definitely recommend her and the team at SCE jobs! Prabhjeet
I would just like to compliment Victoria Marsden on how she has handled my job application. Over the last few months I have come into contact with many agencies when applying for jobs. I have to say that Victoria has just been fantastic. The sometimes complicated and frustrating process of looking for a new job has been made simple, informative and personal through Victoria's ability to be friendly, knowledgeable and competent. It makes such a huge difference so I just thought I'd pass that on. Regardless of whether I'm successful or not in the position I have applied for; if I saw that this agency was managing a vacancy, I would be more likely to apply and feel confident that my application would be handled by someone who is good at their job and cares about candidates. Something that's quite rare. Victoria you're great - Thank you!
I just want to say a big thank you to Paul who has been an absolute superstar in helping me find employment. From our first conversation I have felt at ease & relaxed & confident that I will find my perfect job role & this has successfully been done. I will highly recommend Paul for any recruitment needs.
Victoria is one of those rare people in the recruitment business that really tries to place the right person in the right position. Not for her, is the profitability of just finding a person of high commercial value but, she cares about the customer or company she is working for and the need sand values of the person themselves. She diligently identifies the candidate's strengths and the company's needs and makes match that suits both to mutual satisfaction.
I have known Vicky for a number of years and she has always been very helpful in identifying possible vacancies for myself during periods of career change and looking for new and challenging roles. I would recommend her to anyone looking for that next great move. She puts the candidates she helps and supports at the fore.
I can not thank you enough for finding me the best job. I have spoken to many recruitment agencies in the past and nobody compares to you. You took the time to listen to my needs and matched me with the perfect career move. You really care about people and that shows, you always kept me up to date with all information. You are truly are one of a kind. I am so happy that you helped me. Best wishes Alex x
This was the first time I have used a recruitment agency and have always been skeptical of them however this experience has totally changed my outlook , they are professional and keep you informed every step of the way . I cannot speak highly enough of the whole team , They are professional, approachable and really take the time to get to know you and treat you as a person and an individual not just a number. Even though I was unsuccessful this time I have no doubt that they will play a massive part in my future employment . Thank you so much Geoff
I have just been appointed to a senior post as a result of liaising with your company. The Person who has acted on behalf and who has represented me to my employers is Amanda. From her first contact with me I have been impressed by her professionalism, her enthusiasm for her job and her ability to advocate candidates to employers. I believe that Amanda is a sterling ambassador for your company and feel compelled to bring this to your attention. My Contact with Amanda has resulted in me having a "Positive Customer Experience" and win-win outcome in my new appointment. "I would just like to say how impressed I am with the service Amanda has provided. She is a credit to your company. Her professional and friendly approach gave me the confidence in your organisation. She has supported me to find the ideal post making sensible suggestions without being pushy. Congratulations on recruiting such an asset to your team.
I start work on Monday at a Care Home as a Manager. A job which Victoria found for me through your agency. I am delighted! The service from Victoria was first class I was updated regularly and treated with the utmost respect. She was always available, knowledgeable, supportive and approachable. This is the first time I have had a positive experience from an agency and I would highly recommend.
I would like to express my gratitude to your company for the excellent service I have received. I was very disillusioned with agencies. I had had so many contacting me expressing interest in my CV, putting me forward for roles, to hear nothing more. When I contacted them they couldn't remember my name or what I was applying for. I also went to register with an agency in Sheffield, again I heard nothing. When I did contact them I came away feeling like was an intrusion. I was therefore was a little hesitant when Victoria Marsden contacted me to follow up an application I made. But her friendly approach put me at ease right away. Vicky has been extremely supportive. To be honest after being unemployed for awhile, she was just what I needed. Whilst being extremely professional, she also gave me the feeling she was in my corner, more like a friend. Vicky provided me with information on the company, the best way to approach the interview, giving me advise on how to make an impression, all of which I really appreciated, it made a huge difference. Vicky is certainly an asset to your company and a number of agencies could learn a great deal from her approach. If you could pass on my thanks to Vicky, I have done so in person, but having been a Manager myself I know the difference it can make coming from her Manager. (Little did she know Vicky was the Boss :) )
Victoria was extremely friendly and supportive when I used her agency, keeping me updated on all developments. I cannot recommend Victoria highly enough!
So, this is the first time I've worked with Social Care and Education Jobs. Their team have worked in the sector and understood what would be required by the company and also to get the best of information from me.They were always friendly and easy to talk with and has made the experience of applying for a post very stress free.
When I first spoke to Paul, I knew straight away that Health and Social Care Jobs were the recruiter we needed. I could tell that we shared similar company values in providing a really high quality and bespoke service. Paul asked lots of questions about how we work as a company and what was important to us in our staff and in our service. It was a completely different (much more positive!) experience than I had had with other recruitment agencies. I wouldn’t hesitate to use Paul’s services again in the future to source candidates for management positions in our company.
I just wanted to express my gratitude in writing. I have had such positive, professional experience with Amanda. She strived to provide the best guidance, care and assurance through out the entire process of my job search and application. A lovely lady with real a passion for the care sector. I feel Amanda deserves some sort of recognition for all her hard work, it payed off and I got my dream job. I would highly recommend. Kindest regards
UBU have been working with Health & Social Care Jobs to assist with our recruitment needs for some 9 years, working closely with Amanda and Emma our direct Recruitment Consultants. They are extremely professional and dedicated to sourcing us exceptional quality candidates that are committed to our company values, whilst maintaining an open and honest business relationship.
I would like to say that Paul was instrumental in my recruitment to my current position. From first contact to contact after i had got the job and settled in Paul offered an amazing service. His support throughout the process was welcome and at all times appropriate and timely. I would recommend Paul to any prospective candidate.

I would like to thank you for all your input with the locality manager role. I had not applied for a new post for quiete a few years and your advice and support helped me to improve my CV and ultimately receive a job offer. Although I have decided to stay at my present employment, I feel the process has given me more confidence for the future. I have also passed on your contact details to my Area Manager for any vacancies we may have in the future as I found your process so refreshing. Thanks Again Tracey
Decided to add this testimonial for Paul and his team after securing employment with their help. My wife spotted the job on line on a generic job site and took a print out copy of the role and brought it home. I had applied for about 5 different roles and not had one follow up, so was feeling a bit anxious. I got home about 15:00 and went straight on the laptop, searched for the job, found and applied by adding my saved CV. That was it then forgot all about it and with the beautiful weather, got a cold drink and sat on decking. I had almost dropped off to sleep, when about 15:45 my mobile went off and it was Paul. Almost immediately Paul was very easy on the ear, he just chatted away finding out about me and my experiences, skill sets, etc, he made me feel at ease and I didn't realise that this was my first part of the interview process. Even though the company was in the process of interviewing he convinced them to add me in. Paul rang me on his way home, offering advice, and tips for the interview which took place 48hrs later. I was shorted listed to the final interview, and again Paul rang me prior to final interview to ensure that I was fully prepared. I believe that with Paul' help, it gave me an edge. It was refreshing in a world of faceless internet which you don't find with lots of other recruiters, who seem to advertise jobs that don't exist, and put you forward for jobs that you are not qualified for. Once again thank you to Paul and his team for helping me to move on to pastures new and giving me the feeling of worth in world of work. I would highly recommend Paul and his team to anyone who is looking for work or a change in career. Kind regards Colin
I would like to thank Paul for his professionalism and helping attitude,I am grateful and delighted for the professional quality service I received whilst searching for employment. Thank you Ilona
Just wanted to say a big thank you for the Good Luck card I received today and also the help and assistance you have all given in helping me land my new job. The advice and guidance you have given me have been invaluable and I have found the whole experience helpful and professional at all times. Kind regards, Martin
“World Class Service from our very first conversation to our last – not the last as we will continue working alongside Paul & Victoria, to meet future recruitment needs without hesitation. Identifying our precise requirements during our first meeting, I was able to appreciate from a different angle the blend of qualities and expertise we sought. The challenge was by no means small, with ideal candidates previously seemingly a rare breed. It was clear from the off that a hunger and determination exists in Paul, and ‘failure’ to find the perfect solution would be an alien concept to him. Within days I was presented with several interesting applicants, each with widely-varying experiences and expertise – all with the ability to light up a room, and the very passion we sought. Preliminary interview notes provided were incredibly helpful, providing a very clear introduction to each applicant – the reasons we should engage with each jumping from the page. Having now appointed three extremely high-quality applicants to trainer roles within the company, when we look to grow again, we will look no further.”
Victoria stands out from other Recruiters as she knows and understands the sector so well. She finds out about the role she is recruiting for avoiding the generic approach. She understands the variations in size of branches and local authorities; she also knows the importance of finding the right people who fit in with the company ethos.
I wanted to thank you and your team very much for your excellent service. Embarking on the search for a carer for a family member was new territory for me, and emotionally challenging, but I felt very supported by you all the way through the process. Your professional yet reassuringly personal approach helped enormously; you were at the end of the phone to answer several questions I needed answering along the way, and you always gave me sound and helpful advice. With thanks and best wishes, Sheena
What you have not done, is send us a bunch of dross, rubbish candidates - you've only sent us people that are worth us looking at. That has saved us much time when we are extremely busy setting up the business. That's the way that recruitment agents should work, but, in my experience, pitifully few actually do. This is appreciated. We will work with you again in the future.
As a registered manager, I managed my own recruitment process. When I took over the home, I soon realized that the ethos within the home needed to change, the only way to do this was to bring in new staff to help me rebuild it. As a manager I had very high standards and expectations of the staff team, ensuring I created very child-focused care. In order to do this, I was looking for very specific staff. Having used agencies before I was a little reluctant to try another agency as I often felt that they are very pushy, don’t listen to my requirements and become argumentative when I didn’t take one of their applicants. They took little time to know information about myself, the home or even the candidates they were placing making it difficult for us to match. As I needed support, however, I approached Vicky and Paul in 2016 to see if they were different to what I had previously worked with. I was extremely pleased with how much time was spent getting to know me as a manager and my expectations of the staff I was recruiting. We also discussed the home itself and the company’s ethos to ensure they had a full understanding of the company. I was surprised at how much detail went into their interview process before candidates were put to me. They had an excellent screening process and only candidates I would be genuinely interested in were put to me. Due to the amount of work and effort that took place behind the scenes it made my recruitment process extremely easy. I have also been complimented by OFSTED for the interview notes provided which were kept in staff’s employment file. Over the years I have been consistently able to keep my staffing levels full due to the in-depth screening process, meaning I had a high staff retention level. All the team are professional in their approach but are also personable and will always go the extra mile to support you. Whilst everyone in the office is willing to help, I feel the consistency of working with the same people has helped build and maintain a positive working relationship. Amanda, Paul, and Vicky have been exceptional, and I would highly recommend to anyone and will always continue to work with them in the future. Michael H
Paul and Vicky bring a refreshingly measured approach to H&SC recruitment. They take the time to learn about your needs from an individual point of view rather than pre-conceived ideas about the kind of candidate(s) you are looking for. This personal touch runs through the whole process of the tailored recruitment that they provide. On top of which their own personalities make the sometimes stressful and serious nature of the process of recruitment an enjoyable and dare I say it a pleasurable experience.
Paul and his Team at Social Care & Education Jobs have proved to be a pleasure to work with. They were always professional, understood the brief and took the time to get to know our organisation, our aims and aspirations before providing quality candidates who very closely matched our requirements – something other agencies sometimes struggled with. Their customer service has been second to none, they provided a tailored personalised service and were always on hand to provide expert advice and guidance. I would not hesitate to use Social Care & Education Jobs again in the future for our recruitment needs. Thank you.
We have found recruitment for our clients with brain injury quite difficult in the past but nw we are receiving the right candidates for a very good cost. The staff team are very helpful and offer advice on our adverts to see if we can improve to get the right candidates. Our recruitment process is much more easier now and our company would highly recommend using the team at SCE Jobs, we have successfully recruited Support Workers and Nurses.
I have found this experience to be a refreshing change from other agencies - professional, efficient, consistent and most of all an excellent fee structure which is more than competitive. Advisors are experienced in recruitment and have been able to find the perfect candidate for a "hard to fill" role within our organisation. I would use this service again without hesitation.
Amanda, Paul, Vicky and the team are a breath of fresh air. They do what they say they will do, when they say they will do it and provide a super service. Amanda herself is very caring and compassionate and has a good understanding of the adult social care sector amongst other sectors. She is an excellent communicator and extremely reliable. I cannot recommend them enough.
Victoria and Paul have been out to visit us on more than one occasion to gain a thorough understanding of our business. I immediately realised that they are constantly working hard to stand out and provide a much needed fresh approach. They are thorough in their interviewing, give you a lot of detail and you can tell they have gone that bit further. What's more, they are more interested in placing the right candidate rather than financial gain and that really does stand out. They do not bombard us with irrelevant CV's, choosing only to send the best. Happy to recommend you to my colleagues within the network.
I would highly recommend working with Vicky at Health and Social Care Jobs. Vicky first contacted me when I was looking for a new challenge. What immediately stood out to me, was how thorough Vicky was in getting to understand what I was looking for and how well she had researched me and really looked at my CV. Vicky stood out from other recruiters as she really knew me and took the time to speak to me and get to know me and I felt confident that Vicky had my best interests as her priority and would find me a suitable role. I also felt through our discussions and Vicky's research that she was ensuring that I was a strong candidate to put forward for potential positions. Vicky is very personable, supportive through the whole process and really stood out from other recruiters as someone I could trust and understood me and found and matched me with roles and employers that were suitable for me and for my career.
I just want to say a big thank you to Paul who has been an absolute superstar in helping me find employment. From our first conversation I have felt at ease & relaxed & confident that I will find my perfect job role & this has successfully been done. I will highly recommend Paul for any recruitment needs.
