THE CHALLENGE

 

SCC encountered persistent challenges characterised by staffing shortages and obstacles in filling substantive positions over an extended period. In response to these issues, the focus was directed towards the recruitment of Educational Psychologists who not only possessed the necessary qualifications but also met the stringent criteria outlined by the Health and Care Professions Council (HCPC).

The primary objective was to address these staffing gaps promptly and efficiently, ensuring that qualified professionals were brought on board in alignment with the specified criteria, thereby enhancing the overall capacity and capability of the team.

 

THE SOLUTION

 

In our collaborative engagement, we  conducted a comprehensive briefing session with SCC to gain a thorough understanding of their current circumstances and specific requirements.

This involved delving into the intricacies of their staffing challenges, as well as the unique qualifications and skills needed for the vacant positions. Armed with a comprehensive understanding of SCC’s situation, we diligently crafted a tailored proposal outlining suitable candidates who not only met their criteria but also demonstrated the capability to contribute effectively to their team. This collaborative approach ensured that the candidates presented were not just qualified on paper but aligned seamlessly with SCC’s organisational needs and goals, facilitating a streamlined and effective recruitment process.

 

THE RESULTS

 

We have consistently demonstrated a commendable standard of excellence in delivering highly qualified candidates to SCC. Our commitment to ensuring the utmost quality is evident through our meticulous evaluation of candidates’ experiences and the provision of detailed CVs. This thorough approach has proven invaluable in helping SCC make informed decisions in the recruitment process.

Overall, we proved to be a reliable and supportive partner for SCC, offering a comprehensive suite of services that extends beyond traditional recruitment. Our dedication to understanding SCC’s unique needs and challenges sets us apart, making us  an integral part of the organisation’s efforts to enhance team capacity and overall effectiveness.
