About us
A specialist partner for children's services
Connective Careers Pathways is a specialist recruitment agency for residential childcare and supported accommodation services across the UK.
We are a specialist recruitment agency working exclusively with services that support children and young people: children's homes, solo and bespoke placements, 16+ supported accommodation, fostering services and residential education.
Our recruitment process is designed to support safer recruitment practices appropriate to residential childcare. Exact checks and requirements are confirmed for each appointment.
Our registered office is in Stoke-on-Trent and we recruit across the UK. Residential childcare is our focus today; the same values-led approach is how we intend to grow into neighbouring care and education sectors.
What we believe
Children first
Every decision is tested against one question: is this good for the young people in the home? Filling a shift is never worth a poor appointment.
Honest, always
We tell candidates what a role really involves — the sleep-ins, the incidents, the paperwork — and we tell clients when a brief isn't realistic.
Considered, not rushed
We would rather introduce a small number of carefully considered people than send a long list of CVs.
Built to grow
Residential childcare is our home ground. As we expand into adjacent care and education sectors, the same standards travel with us.
