VETRO RECRUITMENT - Key Persons
Job Titles:
- Divisional Manager - North Permanent
Originally from Birmingham, I moved to Liverpool in 2010 to study Criminology and Sociology at The University of Liverpool. Following my studies, I began my career in recruitment and now I have over 3 years experience recruiting for permanent positions in the Health and Care sector.
I am proud to be part of Vetro Recruitment as, like Vetro, I aim to provide a clear and transparent recruitment process for every Client and Candidate that I work with. Throughout my time recruiting in this sector I have recruited at all levels working closely with both charities, councils and private organisations.
In my spare time I play both Football and Gaelic Football and with being from Birmingham, I am a massive Aston Villa fan!
My career in recruitment started 20 years ago and I haven't looked back since…. I love it! I have always been passionate about the Care and Education sectors, my Aunty was a headmistress and I have a brother with Asperger's who lives in residential care. I understand the impact the staff we recruit have on the lives of the people they support.
I am passionate about the sectors we work in. I believe that in my 15 years of supporting clients, candidates and some of the most vulnerable people in our society, I have had a positive impact on those I support. Continuing to do this is what gets me out of bed in the morning.
Job Titles:
- Associate Director - Permanent Recruitment Division
I started my career within the health and social care sector as a Care Co-ordinator in an assessment centre for adults and children with learning disabilities. The role appealed to me as I have a brother-in-law with Downs Syndrome and was keen to learn more about the challenges faced by people with learning disabilities. I enjoyed engaging with the clients and felt passionate about making a difference in people's lives, but I also wanted to work in a faster-paced environment which led me towards a career in recruitment.
My first recruitment role was as a Trainee Recruitment Consultant in a Legal recruitment Company, which I did for over a year, and although I enjoyed the role, I missed working in the health & social care sector. In 2004 I took a change of direction and took a job as a specialist care Recruitment Consultant, recruiting for Homelessness, Drug and Alcohol and Domestic Violence services. This was a role I felt would combine my 2 passions, recruitment and the health & social care sector.
Throughout my time in this role, I recruited a wide range of care professionals including Social Workers, Allied Health Professionals, Care Assistants, Support Workers, Registered Managers and most recently Executive level roles. I have been involved in the implementation and management of 2 master vendor contracts for large National Health & Social Care providers, both supplying 1000 hours of temp support staff on a weekly basis.
I love my job and can't see myself doing anything else. There is nothing better than finding the right person for a role and making my client's life easier, then calling a candidate to offer them their dream job and they are over the moon. All this whilst ultimately improving the life of someone who is vulnerable, it really is the best job in the world.
I have now moved to Vetro to specialise in permanent recruitment for Support Workers, Managers and Senior level vacancies.
Job Titles:
- Associate Director - Social Care and Housing
I have over 8 years of experience working within social care and supported housing recruitment and have supplied staff throughout the whole of Wales and the South West of England throughout my career.
I love working within the sector and have a passion for supporting not only national clients but small private services as well with their recruitment needs. There's no better feeling than knowing that you are making a difference in the lives of some of the most vulnerable within our society.
I have volunteered with underprivileged youths and the homeless and will always try and support where I can.
In my spare time, I love travelling, watching football (a big Liverpool fan) and spending time with friends and family!
I have worked in Finance for nearly 20 years. My career has allowed me to enjoy a variety of roles across a wide range of sectors, from Financial Services to Healthcare and Facilities Management. Moving into Recruitment was an easy decision to make - the team at Vetro are passionate about what they do and so it's a pleasure being able to support their work from a financial aspect.
Outside of work, I love spending time with my wife and two young boys - having a BBQ in the summer is definitely my favourite time of year! As a keen golfer, I'm lucky to be a member of Royal Birkdale. I enjoy most sports, family holidays and a nice glass of red!
Job Titles:
- Associate Director - Education
- Associate Director - Education / Education
I have worked in the Education sector for the last 9 years and my passion for the industry is as strong as ever. Working with Vetro has given me the opportunity to pursue my career as a Manager and now a Director and thrive in an environment that is very close to my heart.
I am predominantly responsible for providing Teachers and support staff to Special Educational Needs schools and Special Educational Needs provisions within mainstream.

Outside of work, I spend the majority of my time with my family, as well as travelling, cooking and attending music events.
I have 16 years' experience working in partnership with clients and candidates in the Health and Social Care sectors delivering the highest quality of service to all involved in the recruitment process. I have worked closely and have managed contracts nationally for trusts, councils, charities, and private organisations so I fully understand the challenges that recruiting talent into these fields at present.
The success I have enjoyed to date has been based on having a clear and transparent process for both the clients and candidates I support as well as within the teams that I have managed. All of the relationships that I have built are on the foundations of honesty and trust which mirrors the Vetro ethos.
I have overall responsibility for the North of the UK where our team works closely with clients in the Education, Nursing, and Social Care sectors. If you would like to find out more about what Vetro can offer please don't hesitate to contact me.
