Permanent Recruitment for Children’s Residential and Supported Accommodation

At JM Workforce Services, we go beyond just filling vacancies. We focus on building long-term, successful relationships between providers and professionals in children’s social care. Whether you need a Residential Support Worker, a Registered Manager, or a whole leadership team, we’re here to support you in finding the right people who are ready to make a difference.

What We Recruit For

We specialise in permanent placements across the full spectrum of roles within children’s residential services and supported accommodation, from Residential Support Workers and Seniors or Team Leaders to Deputy Managers, Registered Managers, and Registered Individuals. In addition, we support temp-to-perm recruitment for organisations that wish to trial candidates before making a long-term commitment.

Who We Work With

We support private providers, charities, and local authorities, offering a flexible approach tailored to each setting. Whether you’re a small independent home or a national organisation, we take the time to understand your values, your challenges, and your ideal candidate profile.

Currently Midlands-Based, Growing Nationwide

We are currently active across the Midlands region, but our service is expanding and we are ready to support providers nationwide. As our network grows, we continue to uphold the same high standards of quality and care.

What Makes Us Different

We know permanent recruitment in this sector isn’t just about filling a gap. It’s about finding someone who fits, who stays, and who contributes to the wider goals of your home or organisation. Our consultants have real knowledge of the sector, which allows us to offer a more focused and insightful recruitment experience.

  • We prioritise quality over quantity, only forwarding candidates we believe are a genuine match.
  • We tailor our search to individual provider needs, recognising that every setting is different.
  • We build long-lasting relationships, not just placements.

We support both the candidate and the client every step of the way.

Safe and Thorough Recruitment

All candidates are vetted in line with safer recruitment guidelines, with particular care taken for those working in regulated children’s settings. This includes:

  • Proof of ID, address, and right to work in the UK
  • A minimum of two verified employment references, including from any roles involving vulnerable people
  • One character reference

Confirmation of relevant experience and qualifications where required

A Candidate-First Approach

We offer a professional but friendly recruitment journey. Candidates can expect regular updates, flexible arrangements, and clear communication. For those who need a bit of extra support, we provide career advice, guidance on the social care landscape, and even mock interviews to help build confidence.

Time to Hire

On average, our permanent placements are filled within two to three weeks, depending on provider availability and onboarding processes. We understand how busy the sector is, so we work flexibly around your timeline.
