A little bit about South West London…
Richmond wasn’t always Richmond.
For centuries the area was known as Shene. After rebuilding the royal palace following a fire, Henry VII renamed it Richmond in 1501, taking the name from his title as Earl of Richmond in Yorkshire.
Places evolve, and so do careers.
Some of the strongest Registered Managers we meet started their careers as Residential Support Workers. Others are experienced Deputies ready for their first registration. Part of good recruitment is recognising when somebody has the experience and ability to take that next step, rather than looking only at the title they hold today.
What recruitment looks like in South West London
South West London is closely tied to Surrey as a candidate market. Richmond, Kingston, Wandsworth and surrounding areas all have different transport patterns, and for many residential roles the working pattern and journey home after a long shift are as important as the headline mileage.
