London based FireFly Locums are a social care recruitment company comprised of qualified social workers, bringing their knowledge of social care to help their candidates.
Job hunting can be very stressful. It usually involved form filling and perhaps an interview with someone who has already seen 20 other people that day and has no real understanding of your desired field of work. Thanks to Firefly Locums, their candidates seeking locum social work can be assured that they are dealing with a social care recruitment company that understands their career and can use this knowledge to get them the job they want.
Locum social work is extremely varied. Social workers can have careers dealing with children, the elderly and those with disabilities to name a few. They can work in hospitals, homes, nurseries or schools. So pitching the right people for the right roles is a difficult task. A lot of research must be done to ensure that these qualified social workers are placed in the right role.
FireFly Locums was established by Jeannine Fletcher, herself an experienced qualified social worker. On their website it states that Jeannine "saw a gap in the market for a recruiter that values its candidates and clients equally." Feeling personally affected by this issue, she then established a company which fully understands the perspectives of prospective social workers.
FireFly's honest and friendly service has received positive testimonials from their current candidates. As Bianca, an advanced Children and Families social worker says on their website, "they are always quick to respond to any query. They have only sent me to interviews for specific jobs that I have requested and always follow up on the progress of them." It seems that FireFly's insider knowledge and ability to empathise with their candidates is fully utilised and appreciated.
