Humour and innovation: Principles to live by - especially in 2020
Gail Hopper, director of children’s services at Rochdale Borough Council, reflects on making progress and staying positive in exceptionally challenging times.
Pertemps Social Care is a recruitment company with a difference. When Andrew Anastasiou started out in December 2016 he based the business on the principles of the public services and gold-standard customer service. He was determined to hand-pick consultants to build long-term relationships and act as trusted partners to their clients and candidates.
Working with the best technology, tools and data analytics in the industry, Pertemps Social Care has grown rapidly and is proud to retain its original values: a commitment to honest relationships, to being ambitious for ourselves and others and simply providing the best possible service.
Pertemps Social Care has a diverse client base across the UK and regularly places social workers within public and private organisations throughout the UK, but there is still room for growth and improvement. Our vision is to lead the way in social care recruitment and to continue to build a reputation for high standards and an empathetic approach to recruitment. Most of all, Pertemps Social Care consultants never lose sight of what really matters: an outstanding service to candidates and clients who provide help to society’s most vulnerable children and adults, in often very tough and challenging circumstances.
