How we recruit and vet

Every candidate is interviewed, and we take up references from recent employers directly rather than relying on written letters alone. We check identity and the right to work in the UK, and verify the qualifications and experience a candidate claims.

We interview both partners and take up references for each, and we discuss living arrangements and the division of duties openly before a placement is agreed.
