‘How we’re breaking the mould for agency social work’

Why local authorities partner with us

There’s more than one reason nearly 20% of the UK’s councils already work with us.

A focus on commitment, not just filling a role

One of the biggest frustrations we hear from partners is being supplied with unreliable agency staff.

At Leaders in Care, we’re committed to thoroughly screening and assessing each candidate’s qualifications, commitment and motivation. Our approach involves:

• Experienced candidates – we were committed to only working with social workers of 3+ years’ experience long before the Department for Education advised it should be the norm in children’s services.
• Extensive vetting to understand what environments candidates thrive in.
• Full pre-screening to uncover any safeguarding concerns, including references and DBS checks.
• Building relationships between the client and the candidate to ensure the right fit.
• No surprises – we fully brief every candidate on the role before they get submitted.

We know success comes from collaboration. Tell us your unique challenges, and we’ll help you find someone who fits your team, not just your vacancy.

Quality over quantity: relevant CVs only

Tired of sifting through irrelevant CVs? We focus on quality, not volume, saving you valuable time and energy. You will benefit from:

• Fewer CVs and a better fit – each profile is from a vetted, reliable candidate who wants to work with you.
• A streamlined process – less time spent interviewing unsuitable candidates.
• A focus on efficiency – imagine reviewing just one CV that leads to the perfect hire.

With over 570 five-star reviews on Google, our focus on sending only the most relevant candidates has proven time and again to work.

Tailored recruitment solutions

Every service is unique, and so are its staffing needs. We take the time to understand your challenges and requirements so that we can match candidates who fit not only your skills needs but your team culture as well.

We carefully select candidates who align with your values and goals, ensuring a smoother integration into your service, ensuring tailored matches.

Clear communication

Transparency is key. We fully brief every candidate on your service, expectations and team dynamics.

This ensures that the people we send are well-prepared and committed, reducing staff turnover and saving you time.

Ongoing support and expertise

Our support doesn’t stop once a candidate is placed. We offer continued guidance and recruitment solutions as your needs evolve.

Additionally, our team provides access to CPD opportunities, as well as events like Community Care Live, to keep your staff connected to the latest developments in social care.

Proven results

With over 570 5-star reviews on Google and countless successful placements, we have a track record of delivering long-term results.

Our clients don’t just work with us once – they come back because we don’t overwhelm them with irrelevant profiles; we help them build their teams for the future.
