Connect2Socialwork 2023: Celebrating Success and Impact
As we prepare ourselves for a new year, we’re taking this opportunity to look back and reflect on the incredible year Connect2Socialwork has had in 2023. Our successes this year are a testament to our commitment and dedication and reflect the support we have received from our amazing clients and candidates.
Awards and Recognition
It’s been a great year for awards and recognition, here are some of our highlights:
- Winner at the British Recruitment Awards – ‘Public/Third Sector Recruitment Agency of the Year’
- Awarded a place on the Framework for London in Permanent Children’s Social Work Recruitment (FLiP)
Social Value
We’re a social value organisation through and through, and this year the whole team has spent several days volunteering. We began by showing off our gardening skills at The Rare Breeds Centre, a great cause that gives back so much to the community. More recently we visited Dandelion Time where we contributed by planting trees and holly bushes, along with assisting with various small tasks. It’s been inspirational to learn about the impactful work these organisations undertake, and we look forward to continuing to support them in the new year.
Supporting our Clients
This year, we’ve had some great opportunities to build our relationships with our clients, which has involved clearer KPI metrics. Due to this, we have won more permanent and locum opportunities across the country, ultimately enabling us to support more candidates in finding their perfect role.
Team Growth
2023 has been busy for our team growth! We doubled in size this year, welcoming our new Recruitment Consultants, Joe and Sam, and our Administrative Assistant, Molly. Our new additions have settled in so well with the team, and are already building great relationships with clients and candidates. We also welcome Cieran as our new Head of UK Qualified Social Work, which has allowed us to work more effectively. Welcome all!
We want to take this opportunity to thank you all for your support this year – Connect2Socialwork wouldn’t be the same without it! We look forward to continuing to grow in 2024 and working together, building relationships and supporting communities.
