Client testimonials

Find out what our existing clients thought of our service...

​When we first engaged with Sanctuary International, we instantly connected with them as a business. The decision to work with an international recruitment partner like Sanctuary International was to attract a higher calibre of applicant, but also to give our staff assurance of quality. When we were looking for an agency partner, we wanted to find someone who understood us as a business, our visions and values, and also who had a strong presence in the international marketplace. We needed guidance and support in this process and felt that Sanctuary International had the right approach to resourcing outside of the UK and that personable approach we were looking for. We knew we’d need to form a great working relationship with whoever we chose, and it was evident from the outset that they could deliver on this.

Claire Eckersley

Clinical Resourcing Manager

Sanctuary has been extremely helpful at securing strong candidates for my service area. Stefan (Head of Permanent Social Work Recruitment at Sanctuary) and his team make sure they are fully briefed on the requirements of the roles before looking for candidates and can clearly communicate to candidates the expectations of the roles and the team environment. They are excellent at keeping in touch regarding interviews and outcomes for candidates ensuring that things progress quickly and smoothly. You can have honest and transparent conversations about candidates that aid progressive working together.

Emma Pattison

MASH, Reach Out and 4 borough EDT Service Manager

​Initially, there was a reluctance to use an external recruitment agency for permanent staff. I admit, even I was sceptical but 129 recruited permanent social work practitioners and managers later, I can confidently say it was – and remains – the best strategy for us.

Catherine Worboyes

Head of Child Protection & Early Intervention Service

​The project has been a huge success. They provided such reliable, high-quality managed teams to quickly assess and progress incoming referrals. They also worked incredibly flexibly. It’s very much a case of ‘you tell us what you need, and we’ll do it.’

Laura Clements

Head of Service, Family Solutions

​Sanctuary has been working with us for a relatively short period, but I have been impressed by their commitment and professionalism in ensuring that high-quality candidates are provided to us. In a market where there is huge competition for high-quality staff, they have not failed to provide excellent high calibre staff. Sanctuary is prompt in their responses and really listen to our needs, which inform who might be a good fit for our service. Will we continue this working relationship? That would be a yes and I would happily recommend Sanctuary!

Fiona Robertson

Service Manager

What makes Sanctuary unique is that they supply staff with specialist knowledge. As an agency, they have a corporate governance structure behind those staff, so we know their agency staff are safe. You feel like you’re the only client and that they’ll move heaven and earth to give you whatever it is you need.

Fran Abbott-Hawkins

Clinical Lead Nurse

​Sanctuary has given us the capacity and head room to think through our service redesign. This has contributed to our vastly improved efficiency of our children’s services for vulnerable children and young people. They understand our requirements and quickly mobilised several teams of highly experienced social work practitioners.

Tony Zaman

Director of Adult, Children & Young People

​It has been a pleasure working with Sanctuary over the past nine months. I must say, they feel like an extension of our team, and the quality of candidates they’ve provided has been fantastic. We’re now at capacity within radiography, which is a great achievement in a short space of time.

Miriam Scale

Clinical Support Services Resourcing Advisor

​We chose to work with Sanctuary as they had an excellent reputation for providing a steady supply of both adult and mental health nurses to other NHS Trusts and their service included pastoral support for the nurses once they had relocated to the UK. We have found the team to be extremely supportive, they are always available for us to talk through any challenges that we may be experiencing and have helped us to grow our knowledge and understanding of recruiting internationally. The knowledge that they have about recruiting internationally and the processes that the nurses must go through are second to none. It has been an absolute pleasure working with the team and we look forward to this partnership continuing.

Diane Woodward

Nursing Workforce Transformation Manager

​ULHT has worked with Sanctuary for over a year now on our International Nurse Recruitment project. They have been so supportive to us and the candidates throughout and their expertise and dedication has been invaluable. Their nature is very friendly but always professional. They always keep in touch with the candidates, informing them of any changes with a detailed explanation. Nothing was too much trouble, flights, shopping, taxis, MQS bookings, they even sourced clothes airers for our candidates on arrival. The candidates they put forward are of an excellent calibre and come with a great deal of existing nursing experience and they have really had an impact on our nursing workforce and in turn our patients.
