I've been with Sanctuary now for over 10 years and have had the same consultant throughout. I've got to say, the service provided by Sanctuary has been second to none. It’s been exceptional.

Ashia

Social Worker

​I would like to take this opportunity to sincerely thank you for your consistent effort, drive and determination to secure me a permanent position. I am eternally thankful. Being out of practice for nearly two years, you have rebuilt my self esteem as well as my confidence in returning to work. Your regular check ins and helpful advice have motivated me throughout this process.

Althea

Social Worker

​“Last year was a challenging time in my social work career. I lost confidence, lost motivation and contemplated if this career was for me. I want to say a massive thank you to Sanctuary for believing in my experience, I was truly at my lowest and they took the time to listen. The following day, they had sourced interviews for me. I can truly say I will never forget this experience and how helpful Sanctuary was.”

Dionne

Social Worker

My consultant at Sanctuary Social Care is the best recruiter I’ve ever had. He’s responsive. He identifies exactly the type of job I want and social work I need and works hard and promptly to secure it.

Jan

Social Work Manager

I would not hesitate to recommend Sanctuary to others as I have personally experienced a service and support over and above what has been expected.

Shane

Social Worker

I have worked with several social work agencies over the past 3 years and can confirm that the service received from Sanctuary is excellent. They make a real difference.

Iva

Senior Practitioner

My Sanctuary consultant has so much gravity and common sense in his approach to his work. He is polite, quick on the uptake, innovative and very motivational.

David

Social Worker

Sanctuary Social Care worked closely with me to understand how my work in referral and assessment at Doncaster was directly transferable to the role advertised at Rotherham.
