Senior Social Worker

My first contact with Mia was when she called me after seeing my CV. At the time I was deliberating pros and cons of locum versus permanent social work roles. Mia came across as professional and curious to find out about my professional background and how I wanted to develop my career. I found it easy to talk to Mia and in the end I chose Pertemps Social Care as my agency.

As this was my first time working for an agency, Mia has had to explain all the necessary steps and processes, which she did in a clear manner which was not overwhelming at all. She reassured me she was available if I had any questions. 

I have been the Interim Team Manager for the Safeguarding Adults and DOLS team for several months now, and I would just like to highlight how impressed I have been with how supportive Charlotte has been to me and my service.

I will be leaving my post at the end of this week for pastures new, however I just wanted to highlight how professional, attentive, and accommodating Charlotte has been. Right at the start, when I was learning Harrow processes, no matter how busy Charlotte has been; how big, or how small a task I have needed support with, Charlotte has been incredible.

I’d like to highlight the tremendous support that Taylor has afforded me over the last decade. Her support has been so good that I have followed her between two different agencies.

With Taylor’s help I have moved on to Senior SW, Senior practitioner, and most recently a Team Manager role.

I would like to share my views and feedback regarding my consultant Taylor Johnson.

I have been registered with Pertemps for over five years, and worked as an agency social worker for many years prior to that. When Taylor became my consultant, I was assured that I would be in good hands. I was dubious to begin with, as change can be daunting.

Shaun you have been a very professional recruitment consultant, and your advice and guidance has been second to none.

Simran, Social Worker

I have worked with Pertemps for three years now.

Since I have been registered and working with Pertemps, Yusuf has been my contact in the organisation.

I must give praise where praise is due. From the first day Bayan contacted me and introduced himself, he had flair, confidence, a positive approach and very good customer care. I instantly liked his dedication, professionalism and belief in himself.

Bayan asked me what type of role I was looking for, rate, location, etc. and said that he would do his best to meet my needs.

Just to say a big thank you to Pertemps for always helping me to find a good placement.

Since I started working with your agency, the placements that you find me are always stable and enjoyable. You regularly check on me and ensure that I am happy. When I needed to move, my consultant was prompt in setting up different interviews for me.  His advice and tips helped the process for me to become successful at the interviews. Where there were multiple job offers, you gave me sincere and genuine advice regarding which option to go for.

I would like to send some feedback about my recruitment consultant, Bayan Rostami. Not only has Bayan been a wonderful consultant, he was able to secure an excellent role, and has also been supportive and friendly throughout the entire selection process.

Bayan was by my side, his positive energy, upbeat attitude, and supportive nature boosted my confidence so I was able to pass the interview. He ensured I was fully aware of the role and attained the necessary knowledge of the organisation that I will be working with.

My consultant has been polite, helpful, approachable and supportive. She was able to find me a position very quickly within a local authority and ensure I was paid promptly. She was great during the registration process and really supported me to ensure I was compliant and ready for work and are easily contactable and always gets back to me if I have a query. Overall you get a 10 out of 10 from me.

Paul, MASH Assessment Team

Thank you for all your help during the recruitment process and for your kindness. I appreciate your understanding during a difficult time, it was lovely of you to reach out to me. You have actually given me the determination to get back on track and see the light at the end of the tunnel!

Ruth, Functional Assessor

I am writing to give some positive feedback regarding my consultant, whom I have worked with for some time now. He was the main reason for my decision to move to Pertemps.

I know my consultant to be very supportive, knowledgeable, respectful and reliable in his dealings with his candidates. I can rely on him to give me good and necessary advice to help progress my career.

I would like to provide feedback on the support I have received.

My consultant has been professional at all times. He is honest and followed through on tasks and actions that we discussed. I have been provided with interviews that are relevant to my experience. He is always there when I need a sympathetic ear and I like his positive, can-do attitude.

I have worked with Jordan Lamothe for over a year. He possesses a deep knowledge of the social work sector which is invaluable when sourcing new roles. What I value the most is Jordan’s professionalism, integrity, speedy response to queries, and his ‘can do’ attitude.

Jordan has prepared me extremely well for interviews and encouraged me to consider roles that would suit my level of experience – which has increased my confidence significantly. I have dealt with other agencies in the past and not had a great experience so it has been refreshing to be treated as an individual as opposed to being viewed as ‘a number’. I look forward to continuing to work with Jordan in the future.

I would just like to inform you how supportive my consultant, Bayan, has been on my journey to find employment. I was about to despair, when my friend and colleague gave my details to him. He contacted me immediately, and perked me up no end. His energy, drive and enthusiasm is catching.

He would contact me on a daily basis, always asking me how I was feeling. He gave me the confidence that I needed to believe in myself again. He set up interviews for me in no time at all.

I have worked with Vicky since becoming an agency worker in July 2015 and have always found her to be honest, professional and helpful. I have worked with her to find various roles and also as a recruiting manager.

I have recently experienced an alternative agency and am pleased to be returning to Vicky! When I hear people talk about Pertemps I hear them talk about her with such positivity and respect – hard work does need recognised in all professions.

Catherine has represented me as an agency Social worker since Summer 2018. During this period, I have always found that she listens to my requirements for a role, offers me professional advice and guidance, discusses any new opportunities openly with me and mentions potential career options for me to consider. She is reliable, professional and responsive to any queries I may have.

Catherine is super-efficient and will always go the extra mile to assist in any way she can. I would recommend any professional to utilise Catherine’s services as in my opinion, she is amazing and I cannot praise her highly enough.

I would like to express my sincere gratitude for your efficient response to all the requests from me since I started working with your agency in June, 2019. It has been appreciated, and I will recommend you to any of my colleagues who are looking to move on.

Steven, Senior Practitioner

Dan is a very proactive, and efficient recruitment consultant. He always keeps me well informed over job roles and all the required information for a role. Dan has provided me with excellent support and has found me job roles that have provided me with great job satisfaction. I would have no hesitation in recommending Dan as a Recruitment Consultant to any professional.

Kam – Senior Social Worker

My consultant has been amazing! He works tirelessly to find the right contracts that reflect my professional skills. His commitment is faultless – he always goes that extra mile to ensure my requests are met within a timely manner.

When it comes to negotiating and advocating for me, my consultant is very professional in his approach. His honesty and integrity are admirable and I can always trust his advice and judgement.

I would like to thank my consultant for being wonderful and supportive. He’s one of the best I have ever had. I really appreciated his assistance during a really difficult couple of weeks, and am happy to say that has now been resolved.

I will continue to refer to Pertemps Professional Recruitment as an amazing company!

I was a permanent member of staff in local authorities for over 15 years. When my personal circumstances changed, I needed local, flexible work. Bayan was incredibly supportive and extremely attentive to ensure the transition to locum work went according to plan.

I have worked with Bayan for more than six months, and I have never once needed to chase him for contact or support. He is always available and a fantastic recruitment consultant to work with. I would definitely recommend him.

Catherine is genuine, honest and approachable. Her professionalism is second to none and this is the reason I wouldn’t use any other recruitment consultant. In my time as a locum social worker working with Catherine, I have been out of work for 0 days. Constantly presenting me new opportunity’s and always on hand to support.

Andy, Adult Social Worker

I want to acknowledge the continued support, hard work and tenacity Bayan has shown me. He always goes above and beyond, and I really appreciate him checking in with me.

I received a PPE kit from Pertemps today. To date I have had to source my own PPE so that I can continue to support the most vulnerable children in our communities.

I would just like to say a massive thank you for all of your support – from registering with Pertemps Professional to now. Over the last two years, Catherine Rogerson has always gone above and beyond to make sure I feel happy, safe and secure in my role, and if there have been any issues you have always made me a priority.

You are a star! I am really grateful  to have you as my consultant.

I have been so impressed with Pertemps, right from my initial conversation with my consultant. He exceeded my expectations. His communication has been exceptional at all times and he has always gone that extra mile in terms of customer service. I would highly recommend Pertemps.

Louise, Senior Social Worker

I just want to say a sincere thank you to Yusuf, my consultant. With his intensive support, he enabled me to regain my confidence following a difficult and dark situation.

When my previous consultant was leaving, he told me he was going to hand me over to Yusuf.

I would like to thank my consultant, for the hard work, dedication and focus that he put into finding the role that I was looking for. I signed up with a different agency around a month before, but they did not offer any interviews. After I made contact with Pertemps, they immediately managed to secure two interviews, and I was offered the perfect role by the end of the week!

No further explanation is required – thanks again!

I would like to express my gratitude towards my consultant during a recent investigation that took place. I was fully supported by the whole team, and was phoned every day to see how I was, and reassure me that everything would be OK. And it was.

Everyone had 100% confidence and faith in me and advocated for me, and the allegations were unfounded.

I would like to thank you for the excellent service and support you provided. When I first I contacted the agency, I thought finding a social worker role from abroad would be challenging and stressful. After the first couple of emails, my initial thoughts had shifted and I am so happy that my friend recommended your agency to me.

I have never had such a close, encouraging and positive experience with any agency before. You were always on my case, and always available for any questions, or to discuss my worries – even at the weekend.

I was so pleased to speak to my consultant at Pertemps. After I registered my details, I had two interviews and was offered both positions! I’m now looking forward to my start date, and it’s less than a fortnight since our first contact.

I can’t recommend Pertemps highly enough. I’d like to thank her for her clear communication, for always responding to emails and phone messages and being patient with any questions or scenarios I had for her. She was super-friendly, helpful and encouraging, and clearly understood exactly what I was looking for.

I would 10,000% recommend Dan! He is a brilliant consultant. Very thorough and informative about everything – no question is a silly question. Dan responds very quickly to emails, calls and messages, and was able to find me a brilliant job within the social work sector.

Pertemps is lucky to have him, I have already recommended him to many of my former and current colleagues!

This is the first time I have used Pertemps and it’s been a really positive experience. My consultant helped me secure the senior position I’d been looking for. He is very professional, stayed in regular contact, and is always pleasant and dedicated to his work. He is also very responsive and ensured that the paperwork was processed quickly.

Pertemps gets a five-star rating from me. My consultant is an asset to Pertemps and will definitely go far.

Catherine is an amazing consultant! She worked so hard to help me find my new role and I’m really excited to be starting something new!

Nikki, Senior Practitioner

My consultant helped me get the job I needed! She stayed in touch since I started the job by emailing and calling me to obtain my hours for the week and she asks how work is going.

She was the go-to person for me when I was worried about my work contract renewal. Thanks very much!

I have a trusted working relationship with my agent, Vicky O’Flanagan, and have been with her for many years – even before she started at Pertemps. I find that Vicky goes above and beyond for me even when I am stressed. She is always professional and has a cheery attitude. She is one of the best.

Sharon, Service Manager

My consultant provided me with excellent service during the recruitment process. He ensured that he understood my current skills, roles and experience. The process was very fast and efficient and he ensured that I was aware of what the next steps would be. I was given great support before my interview and was confident that I was well prepared. The experience I encountered was highly professional and I highly recommend.

Lauren, Social Worker

Bayan is amazing, he listened to my requirements and was able to deliver what I wanted. With first-hand experience, he offers realistic advice and is always available to help. He is very professional but also down to earth and easy to talk to. I would highly recommend him if you’re looking for your next role.

Farhia, Senior Practitioner

I’d like to thank my consultant once again for finding me work, he said what he was going to do and did it. I really appreciate his confidence when I thought I did not get the job in question – he reassured me not to worry.

And it all did come together in the end!

I want to say a big thank you to everyone involved in finding me a social work job. I appreciated my consultant’s guidance in completing my CV and with preparing me for my interview. He sent me research and relevant information that was invaluable.

He worked fast in finding me a job and organised administration support so that my timesheets were regularly submitted. This eased the pressure from me so that I could focus on doing my job.

I have been represented by Pertemps for some time now. I have been approached by many other agencies to represent me, however the level of service, regular contact and professionalism received from has been exceptional.

I feel very valued and always listened to. I honestly believe that Pertemps consultants always went the extra mile for me. They have worked exceptionally hard, especially in these difficult times. Not only their expertise and professionalism, but their politeness and consideration in all matters.

The service is excellent and my consultant always calls me if I need anything. I should add that he always keeps me updated regarding pending roles and has a very polite and professional manner.

It has been, over the years, a pleasure to work with him.

I look after Locum and Permanent Recruitment for Qualified roles within CSC and Adults for the London Borough of Bromley so as you can appreciate I am extremely busy on a day to day basis.

Since working with Pertemps over the past 12 months, my consultant has been extremely proactive to support the London Borough of Bromley’s recruitment needs. He works very quickly and efficiently, nothing is ever too much trouble and he keeps me in the loop and updated as requested.

Our company required a supervising social worker and my consultant was able to quickly identify some excellent candidates for the vacancy.

Having conducted telephone interviews, we were able to shortlist and confirm our interest in a suitable candidate. Everyone has been very helpful throughout the process, and I would definitely recommend Pertemps’ services to anybody looking to recruit permanent staff.

I am pleased to recommend Pertemps Professional Recruitment.

They have consistently assisted me with the recruitment of both qualified and unqualified care workers across 14 boroughs, and I have always been thoroughly satisfied with their outstanding service. The consultants are passionate, professional, and dedicated to meeting the needs of the local authorities they serve. Pertemps Professional Recruitment is highly regarded in the social care sector, and locums value the team’s extensive market knowledge.

I have been working with Pertemps for several months now. Pertemps have provided me with social workers for our London based clients on a regular basis. It has been a pleasure speaking with the team as they are extremely polite, professional, and always provide a quality service.

It has been a pleasure to work with Pertemps. The consultants show an unusual level of professionalism and are always willing to push that bit further to provide the right candidate for my team.

I am impressed by the support I have received, and by my consultant’s receptiveness to my feedback and queries. I highly recommend working with Pertemps Professional Recruitment.
