Our Purpose

Our purpose is simple: to support social care services with the right people, at the right time, in the right way. We understand that recruitment in social care is not just about filling shifts or vacancies. It is about protecting vulnerable people, supporting staff wellbeing and helping services meet their regulatory responsibilities with confidence.

Our Values

Our CARE Values

Putting people at the heart of every decision we make. We prioritise the wellbeing, safety and dignity of those receiving care, as well as the professionals supporting them.

We are honest, transparent and realistic in our approach. We provide clear advice, set fair expectations and act with integrity in every interaction.

We believe strong, long-term relationships lead to better outcomes. We work collaboratively with providers and candidates, taking time to understand needs, values and goals.

We remain accessible, responsive and supportive, including through our out-of-hours service. We listen carefully and act proactively to support our partners.

Everything we do at Stratton Mills Recruitment is underpinned by our CARE values
