CARE IS AT THE HEART OF

EVERYTHING WE DO

Why do we love what we do?

Specialists in Attracting Candidates

In a sector as sensitive as Care

provision we have a moral obligation
to ensure our service is honest,
trustworthy, reliable and is delivered
by people who understand and care
about the sector.
It is important to remember that
High standards of Care can only
be delivered if suitable people are
employed.
We believe that as recruiters we
have a moral obligation to ensure we
are delivering the right service, just
because we are a step removed from
the actual operation of delivering care
does not mean that we should not take
that obligation any less seriously.

My inspiration
This is story is about my Auntie Christine who inspires me every day she is also the
reason I enjoy my job and work hard to find the right people for the Care Sector.
My Auntie Christine lived at home for most of her life with my
Grandma and Grandad. We are not sure what exactly was wrong
with Auntie Christine, friends that came with me to my Grandmas
couldnt tell there was anything wrong with her and neither could
I really but in those days she was classed as Backwards. When
she was in her teens she had a nervous breakdown and was taken
to Stanley Royd in Leeds (Not a nice place by all accounts) and was
subjected to Electric shock treatments which made me feel sick.
As my Grandad and Grandma got older they decided it was time
to ensure that Christine was cared for when they had gone and
that is when Auntie Christine entered the Care System, initially in
a Residential Home in Leeds. We did see a negative change in her
personality, She wasnt her usual fun self, she was drowsy and
became withdrawn and unhappy.
We were informed that she was classed as Schizophrenic and
would require a Nursing Home.
My Auntie went to live at the Home in Bradford and during her
time there she had her cigarette allowance reduced to 3 a day She obsessed about smoking and this caused her distress, leading
her to take cigarette butts from ashtrays.
My Auntie then broke her hip (We still dont know why) and we
were called to the Hospital. We found her in the middle of a small
ward of six. Her hair was stuck to her head, she smelled so badly

the whole ward smelt of urine and her belongings were in a bin
liner - How degrading! I could have cried! It was whilst she was in
here that we received the sad news that they had discovered she
had inoperable lung cancer.
Christine returned to the home and never walked again, more
incidents happened including her bed being away from her
buzzer, she was drag lifted and was slapped across the face with
a slipper!
I called the local CQC Inspector and started an official complaint.
CQC Investigated and we were given a list of complaints and
whether they had been upheld or not. We did also discover that
there were discrepancies with her monies. But no real answers!
Thankfully we were able to secure a move to a home in Leeds
where the staff were amazing. She spent her final months being
Nursed by a very passionate team, which I am glad of and I was by
her side whilst she died of lung cancer.
Sadly I cannot change what happened to her and the sad life she
lived in the care system. Knowing what I know now I honestly
think my Auntie had a Learning Disability. I feel sad that her life
was like this and that she didnt receive the best care and support
she deserved which is why we go the extra mile to ensure we
fine passionate candidates who want to make a difference.
