Paul has been a fabulous consultant to work for, he maintains good contact, responds promptly to any queries or concerns and quite often sends a little message of appreciation for my hard work."

Cover Supervisor

"Natalie immediately understood what type of work I was looking for. She had an interview set up with a local authority within about 48 hours of first contact which I thought was incredible.
The experience has had a huge impact on my career. Working with Natalie has enabled me to remain on maternity leave for longer and spend more time with my child. They helped me to find a role with an authority I had no previous links with and it has been a fantastic opportunity."

Teaching Assistant

"Via my work, I deal with a lot of different people and believe in the value of relationships and ‘working together.’ This is clearly a value shared by Natalie. In comparison to other recruitment consultants from other recruitment organisations, Natalie has that value and her ability to foster a professional relationship is genuine. It is more than a ‘job’. Natalie demonstrates support, empathy, curiosity and desire for me to obtain the best role that she can obtain for me. That imbues a sense of trust from me to her. I don’t think you can ‘buy’ that.”

Educational Psychologist

"My current consultant, Leasha Cookson, is really helpful and knowledgeable in the care sector. Leasha has previously worked in this sector so she has working knowledge of the industry which shows in the way your application is processed.
I have worked with a few recruitment agencies and many of the consultants often have no knowledge of the industry they work in. At Spencer Clarke Group this is not like this. Your consultant will know your industry."

Specialist Family Support Worker

"Sophie Payne and the team have been really proactive and had great energy to secure me interviews and make progress. I’m now in a brilliant role and I am grateful to be working with Spencer Clarke Group.
The team doesn't just want your CV to send out into what often seems like a black hole, they proactively match and make connections. I received a call telling me they would get me an interview and it happened. A notable difference to how other agencies work. A fantastic experience!"

Social Work Team Manager

"Over the past few months, It's been a pleasure having Liam Richmond as my Recruitment Officer at Spencer Clarke Group. From day one, his professional approach has been engaging and he's always provided me with necessary information needed for work, in a timely manner.
Whenever I've had questions, he would inquire and return with a response as promptly as he can. Liam is friendly, direct, efficient and a reliable communicator."
