Shaping Safer Futures in Children’s Residential Care
Our Story
With backgrounds directly working across the care sector spanning Ofsted, CQC and NHS regulated environments, we’ve supported setting up homes, stabilise services and adhere to frameworks that ensure safety and quality. That experience shaped our vision for Award Employment: a recruitment partner that combines deep sector knowledge with a commitment to safer recruitment and long term solutions.
We are proud to support national and established providers through to new providers opening their 1st home across England.
