Senior Recruitment Specialist - London & Kent
"What is your role at Sheldon Phillips?"
Well other than making the odd round of coffees, I recruit locum staff for Children and Adults services for Local Authorities all over the South East of England. I have big plans for this division that fit into the company's plans for future growth. I have worked in a few recruitment sectors and I must say that after just over 12 months with the business, I absolutely love it. I get to speak to so many different types of people in this role, who are all so passionate about Social Work. It really does make my job so much easier when I'm working with someone that really cares about the job they do.
"Work aside, what do you like to do for fun?"
I used to work for gymnastics companies and have done quite a bit of stunt work. Free running is also a huge passion of mine, so I like to keep pretty active.
