Client Testimonials

After going through a difficult redundancy, I looked in desperation for an agent who would be able to steer me to my next ideal position. Jon came highly recommended and didn’t let me down. His communication and accessibility were second to none, keeping myself and would be employers always updated.

His knowledge of the behavioral health market and the roles within it is truly outstanding. Jon is exceptionally well connected in the industry with a variety of employers and in my case, he didn’t mess about putting me forward for roles that I felt comfortable with.

I have come across many agents that just want a quick turnaround, but it was important to me, having spent 9 years with my previous employer, that the next role was right.

Jon took his time and sourced many roles that suited my profile and my own ethos of working and I never felt rushed or pressured in applying. Jon made what was a difficult time in my career so much better and hopeful. I have now secured a new position through Jon and working with him has given me the confidence to look at the market differently.

I will be forever grateful Jon thank you.
