ENS

Two decades ago, we were a small family business that opened its doors dedicated to finding good people and finding the right jobs for them. We’re still family run, but our “family” has grown a little since then. We’ve grown into a leading health and social care recruiter and training provider for staff across the private and public sectors, including nursing and residential care providers as well as housing associations, the NHS and local authorities. We also offer support packages for people who need help living independently.

Today, we are a well-known and well-trusted name in the health and social care sector in Essex, Kent, Surrey and London. But whoever we’re working with, whether we’re providing temporary, interim or permanent staff, we’re always committed to providing excellent service.

ENS provides specialised training and is keen to work with students who are flexible, willing and are able to demonstrate a real desire to work in the care field.
