This opportunity arises out of a collaboration between Mediplacements and Christian and Francoise Bathews of EFTrain - one of the first independent consultancies contracted to provide NVQ care training within the London Borough of Newham. Unlike many agency providers, their expertise embraces both the worlds of recruitment and social services. Through them we can ensure access to a service offering a sophisticated understanding of both disciplines and a crucial awareness of the constraints, needs and aspirations applying to both clients and locums on either side of the recruitment equation.

Their professionalism and social care savvy - born of over twenty years in the service in both management and consultancy roles - brings with it the promise to listen carefully to your brief, think creatively on your behalf and to find the person or the post that you require. Through them our creed is never to favour fast profits over long-term client relationships. It's an easy enough promise perhaps but one you may be hard pressed to find fulfilled in this competitive recruitment marketplace, particularly given today's social worker shortages.
