Testimonials

I hope you're well and thank you for your time Monday. I've been thinking a lot about the interview itself and just wanted to say that how great it was that you took the time out to talk about the business itself and the owner. It really stuck with me and made an already great job sound perfect. Kindest regards Jack

I have recently been helped by Vicky when I was seeking alternative employment in housing management. My experience from the minute we spoke was beyond first class. Vicky has such a positive supportive way of working with you.  The service from Health and Social Care Jobs and from Vicky herself is all you could ask for if you were looking to fill a vacancy. Do not look beyond Health and Social Care Jobs and Vicky if you need to fill a vacancy.

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. If you could also pass on my thanks to Elise and Angie as well please. Kind regards, Martin

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

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 from Health and Social Care Jobs. 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 Health and Social Care Jobs' help, it gave me an edge. They are 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 Holloway

Good morning Vicky, Hope you are well this morning? I just wanted to update you on the job front. As of yesterday, the next chapter in my book of Wells, began with this! My second interview at 2pm in Wigan was a nervous one, not knowing how it was going to pan out. I sat in the meeting room with nervous thoughts on how it was going to go??? He came in with my updated CV and JD, he stated by asking how the weekend to Nottingham went? And how I was? He started to discuss my CV, so I touched on that, but brought out my numbers dashboard, which I worked so hard on the previous night. Checking over the numbers from the last four offices I had worked at previously, checking and double checking the percentages are spot on for revenue, service enquiries and conversion were spot on.   He was very impressed with the numbers, but, ultimately, so was I. Everything I achieved over four years on an A4 piece of paper, the ROI on that one sheet, my hard work and hopefully, he has seen the value in this?   He passed me a copy of the JD and asked if I had any questions? Which was no because it was everything I had done in my previous role over the past 7 years. He left the room for a couple of minutes, which made me think what was going on, my nerves were creeping up again, I looked at my I watch at the heart monitor to check my bp, I then put the breathing app on to relax me, then Phil walked back in, looking at him, he had a cracking poker face, he sat down and straight out with it, my anxiety was increasing, what was going to say?   Gary, I would love you to be part of my team. Those words ringing in my head, anxiety level suddenly dropped, internal crept in with excitement. All the worry and endless searching for a new employer over the past three weeks. Thoughts of how am going to provide for my family and pay to keep the roof over our heads and so near to Christmas, those words resounding over and over, and then he just came out with it, I would like you to start on the 1st December! Wow, was my initial excitement, but thought about the terms of my redundancy, I said, I could do an induction, but I was also thinking I had a round of golf booked for Friday at Frodsham Golf Club, my best mate has come down from Montrose, all these thoughts suddenly appearing, but not to worry, I am now starting on the 5th December at Wigan, but will based for now at the Warrington office.   Vicky, many thanks for your help and support at the beginning of my journey this month. You have made me feel so positive, that there is another world outside of the company I was with for 10 years. Now I must move on in this new chapter, and use those experiences to develop the next stage of my Business Development Manager role.   Many thanks again, and, you may not have had a mini chapter like this before, however, I never knew I had it in me to write something like this. lol   Take Care Gary Wells 
 

This is not quiet a testimonial as I didnt actually place Gary into this role, however Gary felt compelled to write this and asked if I would publish this on our website, which I have.  Thank you Gary you are lovely man and very selfless, everything you do you do for other people and you are a credit to yourself and the Care Sector.   

Hi Kerrie 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 with ILA.  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

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 and Heath & Social Care Jobs to any prospective candidate.

I just wanted to express my gratitude in writing. I have had such positive, professional experience with Cieira. 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 Ceira 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  

I would like to say, Nikki Taylor is outstanding consultant, very genuine and great sense of humour, would highly recommend Health & Social Care Jobs to anyone. The whole process, she has kept me updated and understood my personal situation. She is an asset to the organisation .

So, this is the first time I've worked with Health and Social care 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. 

Victoria was extremely friendly and supportive when I used her agency, keeping me updated on all developments. I cannot recommend Victoria highly enough!

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. 

I was contacted by James from Health & Social Care Jobs after putting my cv online.  He was very supportive and I had plenty of contact with James before and after the interview. Since then I have been taken on by that company as their Registered Children's Home Manager. I have continued to use Health & Social Care Jobs to recruit for our outstanding vacancy positions. All the interviewees that James has sent over have been of a high standard and he continues to help and support with the start-up of the new business. Thanks. Mark – Childrens Care Home Manager Aspirational Care

My experience in looking for a new start to continue with my career progression with the correct company in health and social care was easier than i first anticipated. Vicky from Health and Social Care Jobs was amazing with finding the correct company and position for me within a fast response. Vicky kept in regular contact and always available to talk with. Excellent communicator and reliable. I would recommend Vicky and the Health & Social Care Jobs team to anyone.  You truly have been amazing, I cannot thank you enough for all your help and support. A Big Thank you.

I would like to say a big thank you to Paul Marsden of Health and Social Care Jobs, for helping me find my perfect job. Paul was so easy to talk to and always kept his promises in terms of keeping me updated and giving me feedback from the clients, often outside office hours.  He also ensured in his absence a colleague was always there to support me.  Paul made me feel valued and he has a very good understanding of the job market and was able to find me a job that matched my skill set.  He is very intuitive and a good listener, he always returned my calls and reassured me when I was confused and nearly giving up. I didn’t feel like just another person, he took the time to get to know me and explored in detail the type of role I was looking for and advised me accordingly.  Paul was totally professional in his approach and had an empathic understanding towards my current frustration of not finding a suitable permanent position, he managed to find me a job in less than a week!!! I have highly recommended Health and Social Care Jobs to my friends and family.  Once again thank you so much Paul for finding me a full time permanent position. Rashmi Parasher

This was the first time I have used a recruitment agency and have always been skeptical of them however Health & Social Care has totally changed my outlook , they are professional and keep you informed every step of the way . I cannot speak highly enough of Health & Social Care Jobs & the 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

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 Gallagher Xxxx

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 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  Alexx 

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 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.

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 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 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

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 Health & Social Care Jobs in future dealings I may have.  Kind regards,  Paul Holland

A dedicate and determined recruitment specialist, Victoria offers a knowledgeable perspective of the social care arena and can deliver the results. Many thanks for securing me a Senior Management position it has been a pleasure securing this role and I wouldnt hesitate to recommend Health & Social Care Jobs to friends and collegues in the future.

I really enjoy my new job so far, although I'm still at the learning stage. Everyone is very nice in the team and it seems much less stressful than any of my previous jobs.   Thank you for helping me finding my new job! I felt represented and supported by you, my opinion, goals and expectations mattered throughout the recruitment process, not like with other recruiters where I was just a name, number or a product they were trying to sell. It was always easy to reach your office, everyone I’ve spoken to was professional, they always forwarded the messages and responded quickly. And a special thanks to Vicky, who supported me all the way. She called me before and after all interviews, answered all my questions and confirmed every conversation with an email.  Vicky was always very kind, helpful and professional. Thank you all at H&SCJ, I would definitely recommend you! Many thanks, Suzy

Afternoon, Believe it or not, I have now been in employment for 12 weeks, time has flown! I wanted to thank Health & Social Care Jobs 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

Right from the initial chat, Clare who became my telephone buddy right through the process, supported and fed back everything I needed to know which took me on the journey to accepting the position.The support did not stop there as I received a text to say good luck before starting my position and received a card at my new workplace from Health and Social care to congratulate me. Fantastic support from a lovely team.
