FOLLOWING the success of Kent Social Care Professionals, Tracy Barrett has set up EssexSCP a specialist social care recruitment agency.
She is recruiting for clients across Essex and now particularly seeks applicants in Braintree, Clacton, Colchester, Earls Colne, Frinton and Halstead.
EssexSCP is the county's newest specialist recruitment agency, offering a unique service to employers and candidates in the social care sector.
It specialises in the supply of qualified and unqualified social care staff to the statutory, voluntary and private sector for temporary and permanent work assignments.
EssexSCP specialises, in particular, in the areas of supported housing, children and families and young people.
The company recognises service providers need an agency which clearly understand the diverse support needs of the vulnerable people in these niche specialties.
EssexSCP will provide regular staff, ensuring continuity of care for service users.
Clients will receive timely feedback for all staff requests, whether it be the occasional shift, nights or weekend staff only, or long term or permanent staffing solutions.
Social care provides interesting careers for people who like to help others for example support workers, RSWs and qualified social workers.
Tracy can offer career advice to candidates, but for registration now, it is essential to have had at least six months' previous relevant experience.
