At Pertemps Professional Recruitment Group, we’ve grown from our roots in social work recruitment to become a trusted network of four specialist brands – Pertemps Social Care, Equinox, Vitalis, and Paradigm – each focused on delivering outstanding recruitment solutions to the public sector.
What began with a deep commitment to supporting qualified social workers has evolved into a broader mission: to champion the professionals who support and strengthen our communities. Today, we proudly recruit qualified social workers, occupational therapists, educational psychologists, SEND professionals, and housing officers across the UK.
From the beginning, Pertemps Social Care stood apart by embracing the values that underpin public service: integrity, compassion, and a relentless drive for improvement. Those same values now guide all four of our brands.
Our consultants offer insight, empathy and hands-on support throughout the recruitment journey.
We invest in long-term relationships, built on trust and understanding. Our consultants don’t just fill jobs – they act as genuine partners to clients and candidates alike, offering insight, empathy, and hands-on support throughout the recruitment journey.
With access to market-leading tools, data analytics, and recruitment technology, our teams are agile, responsive, and ahead of the curve. Yet what sets us apart is more human:
Our candidates are the beating heart of what we do. We advocate for them daily – through pay negotiations, career development, and simple human support. We work with purpose, because we know the professionals we place go on to make a difference where it matters most.
Across the group, our vision is clear: to be the most trusted name in public sector recruitment. And we’ll do it by staying true to our roots – combining gold-standard customer service with a meaningful, purpose-led approach.
