Senior Recruitment Consultant

About Joel

Firstly, how long have you been with Service Care?

Since October 2022

 And what does your day-to-day role involve?

 I’m a part of the Social Housing division, working with Housing Associations and Local Authorities across the UK. My day revolves around hiring for various roles, from housing officers to allocation and letting officers.

 Give us a brief overview of your professional background...

Prior to working at SCS, I was studying at Lancaster University for 4 years, completing an Undergraduate degree in Entrepreneurship and Management, and a Master’s degree in Media and Cultural Studies. Alongside my degree, I worked some part-time roles at Diddikicks and Sainsbury’s, which helped me gain valuable customer service experience and communication skills.

 If you weren't working in recruitment, what would you be doing?

 Probably something to do with music journalism.

 Using only 3 words, how would you describe Service Care?

 Welcoming, challenging and sociable

 What's your favourite quote/piece of advice you've ever been given?

 “Your best teacher is your last mistake”

 Lastly, when you're not at work, where can we find you?

 Either playing/watching football, in the gym, at the pub quiz or at home binge watching TV and listening to music.
