New Recruitment Manager set to support our continued growth

We’re delighted to welcome Lorna Hewitt to the team as our new Recruitment Manager. Lorna joined us in early June and brings with her a rich background in people management, recruitment, and compliance across sectors including retail and care.

Lorna will be working with Nile, Paula, Nathan and the wider recruitment team, supporting us as we continue to welcome more people to our growing business.

Lorna’s career began in retail before transitioning into healthcare, where she worked her way from care delivery and coordination to branch management. She’s already visited all four children’s homes and met many of our team members.

Lorna explains: “I was really looking for an organisation that genuinely cares—and that’s what I’ve found here. Everything we do is for the children, young people and families, and that’s not just something people say—it’s something you see every day.

“Having visited the homes and met so many people already, it’s been eye-opening and so positive. Everyone’s been welcoming, and I already feel more at home here than I have in any previous role.

“I’ve been really keen to move into a more permanent recruitment role and to help shape the process around people management, from recruitment through to retention. I’ve already started to streamline our recruitment and compliance processes—making things smoother and more efficient for both our team and our applicants.”

As we continue to grow, Lorna says she is excited to help attract great people to support our mission. She says; “We’re looking at better ways to reach candidates, from updating job ads to attending job fairs and improving our systems. Ultimately, we want to ensure we’re bringing in the right people—those who share our values and are committed to safeguarding and quality care.”

Welcome to the team, Lorna!
