About Us

Good things that last take time and effort.

This is especially true when it comes to relationships and a good relationship between an employer and employee is critical to the success of any business.

The entire recruitment journey deserves proper care and consideration. We take time to understand your business and your vision – properly. Understanding the role in every dimension. It’s about investing our own time in attracting quality prospects and understanding the personal ambitions, circumstances, skills and motivations of every single candidate we meet. This is about more than just form filling and questionnaires.

We also understand the need for pace, so we never advocate endless interviewing or prevarication.

However, spending time finding the right person for a role – someone who shares your values and ethics and who will help grow and add value to your organisation – is time well spent. This is central to the practice of socially responsible hiring.

The Shaw Trust was created as a charitable organisation in 1982, driven by a mission to challenge inequality, it focused on finding employment for members of the disabled community. It now has grown into an organisation with 3,000 employees and 700 volunteers across the UK and continues to champion the right to rewarding work, helping an array of people – from ex-prisoners to the socially excluded, to find meaningful employment. Good Work Partners has its’ roots in The Shaw Trust and although a commercial enterprise, rather a charity, it echoes the Trust’s belief in social worth and the importance of ethical practice in employed life.
