Who We Are

Our approach goes far beyond traditional recruitment. We work in genuine partnership with children’s home providers, offering hands-on, consultative support shaped around the needs of your service, your team, and the children you care for. Through tailored staffing strategies and sector expertise, we help build stable, consistent teams that create safe and nurturing environments for young people in care. 


At NP Care Consultancy, we are committed to delivering trusted, sustainable recruitment solutions that support children’s homes to thrive while maintaining the highest standards of care and safeguarding.


We take the time to truly understand each home we work with. We visit services, get to know your culture, and build close working relationships so we feel like part of your team, not an external agency. 

As a member of the Recruitment & Employment Confederation (REC), we also operate in line with recognised industry standards, reflecting our commitment to ethical, compliant, and professional recruitment practices. 



In a sector where trust, consistency, and safeguarding are essential, our approach is built on partnership, presence, and understanding. Helping children’s homes secure the right people who make a real and lasting difference.

The Directors

Nathan


Nathan, one of the Directors at NP Care Consultancy, brings over 10 years of recruitment experience alongside valuable hands-on experience within the care sector, particularly in children’s services and early years settings. This combination gives him a strong understanding of the importance of placing the right people into roles where they can help create safe, stable, and nurturing environments for children and young people.


His sector knowledge, insight, and commitment to quality underpin the service NP Care Consultancy provides, enabling the team to build strong partnerships with providers and connect them with exceptional professionals who make a real difference. 


Outside of work, Nathan is an avid West Ham United supporter and proud dog dad to Dolly the Pug, the office’s unofficial mascot. When he’s not supporting the Hammers or being bossed around by Dolly, he can usually be found insisting this is “definitely our season”… every season.

Outside of work, Jake is a self-confessed “crazy cat person” with three much-loved cats keeping him busy at home. He is also a huge Leicester City fan, so if you catch him on a quieter or slightly reflective day, you’ll know exactly how his team has been doing the weekend before.

What We Offer

At NP Care Consultancy, we don’t operate as an external agency—we become a genuine extension of your team. We work closely with managers to understand not just the role, but the exact type of person needed at that moment in time, taking into account your home’s culture, the young people you support, and your existing team’s dynamics. 




By embedding ourselves in your recruitment process, we provide a more considered and tailored approach, ensuring every candidate is carefully matched to your specific needs. This hands-on partnership allows us to respond quickly, adapt to changing requirements, and consistently deliver the right people for your service.

Retained Service

Partnering with NP Care Consultancy on a retained agreement means moving away from reactive, vacancy-led recruitment and instead securing a dedicated, ongoing partnership that consistently supports all of your hiring needs. For a simple monthly fee, our retained model provides you with a fully embedded recruitment function, offering the equivalent of an in-house team without the cost, time, or complexity of building one internally. 




Rather than working on individual, isolated vacancies, we work with you continuously, taking the time to understand your organisation, your culture, and the specific types of people required across your service at any given time. This allows us to stay ahead of your needs, providing proactive and consistent recruitment support across all levels, from residential support workers through to senior operational roles. 



As a retained partner, we are fully committed to your service, prioritising your roles and working exclusively alongside you to ensure focus, continuity, and quality in every appointment. This ongoing relationship allows us to remove the uncertainty and fragmentation often associated with traditional agency recruitment, replacing it with structure, consistency, and trust. 



Ultimately, our retained agreement gives children’s home providers a dependable, long-term recruitment solution where we act as a true extension of your team, strengthening your workforce, supporting stability, and helping you build the right people into the right roles over time.
