A little bit about South East London…
Greenwich gave the world something most of us use every single day without thinking about it: a starting point for time itself.
The historic Prime Meridian at the Royal Observatory marks 0° longitude, where east meets west and from which the global system of longitude and Greenwich Mean Time developed.
Children’s home recruitment has its own starting point too, and for us it isn’t the CV.
It starts with understanding the home: the children it supports, its culture, its location, what has worked before and the person the provider actually needs. Only then does searching for the right candidate make sense.
What recruitment looks like in South East London
South East London often overlaps with Kent and neighbouring boroughs, particularly around Greenwich, Bexley, Abbey Wood and Woolwich. Transport links can open or close candidate pools very quickly, so we map searches around realistic routes rather than assuming every SE postcode is interchangeable.
