How We Started

How We Started

Identified the Challenge

Seeing the Gap

Our founders worked closely with care providers and frontline professionals and saw the same challenge repeated — pressure to fill roles quickly, often at the expense of quality, consistency, and safeguarding.

Designed a Better Approach

Raising the Standard

We brought together experience from recruitment, care services, and consultancy to create a measured, compliance-led approach that puts safeguarding, cultural fit, and long-term outcomes first.
