Brighton may be famous for its seafront, but for us the important geography stretches far beyond the beach. Candidate searches can take us across Hove, Portslade, Shoreham, Lewes, Peacehaven and the surrounding Sussex communities to find people for whom the journey and the role genuinely work.
A little bit about Brighton…
Brighton has been doing electric travel for rather longer than most people realise. Volk’s Electric Railway opened in 1883 and is the world’s oldest operating electric railway. More than 140 years later, it still runs along Brighton seafront.
Perhaps there is something rather Brighton about that: progressive ideas aren’t exactly new here.
The children’s residential sector is changing too, and providers increasingly need people who can combine strong safeguarding and regulatory knowledge with warmth, judgement and the ability to build homes where children can genuinely thrive.
What recruitment looks like in Brighton
Recruiting in Brighton means looking at more than the city itself. Hove, Shoreham, Lewes, Peacehaven, Worthing and other nearby communities can all form part of a realistic candidate search, depending on the home, working pattern and transport links.
