Shaw Trust works nationally with employers from all sectors and sizes, ranging from owner managers to medium-sized ‘local’ businesses, and with larger national organisations.  We understand your differing needs and ways of working which is why we ask you to ‘talk to us first’ when recruiting.

Training and development

Unlike other recruitment providers, Shaw Trust offers ongoing support to both employers and employees helping to ensure a sustainable outcome. Our strategy is to make sure that the process of employing a diverse workforce works for all parties so we offer you the same high level of personalised attention as we offer to our candidates.

Each person joining your organisation through Shaw Trust has a personal development or action plan. Where necessary we can also help you assess funding for work place adjustments and any specialist equipment via ‘Access to Work’.

In-work support

We’re always keen to make sure it really does work for everybody concerned. That’s why we implement a follow through In Work Support programme for our customers.

As our customer settles into your environment we continue supporting him or her with a Job Support Plan. This involves regular telephone calls and meetings to assess progress and deal with any teething problems quickly and with the minimum amount of disruption.

Large employer?
Bespoke Service Level Agreements

For large employers with multiple outlets throughout the UK, we offer bespoke Service Level Agreements. Using these agreements, we tailor our services to your national employment requirements so you enjoy the benefits of a national standard level.

What employers have to say about Shaw Trust:

"Working with Shaw Trust is a perfect win-win situation; the local community is
very important to Tesco and this partnership ensures we can access a wider range
of skilled staff for our business."

Lorna Bryson, Head of Resourcing for Tesco

"I’m telling everybody about Shaw Trust and the great work that it does, because it’s
a match made in heaven. They give 110%, both to their clients and to the employer,
and the workers we have taken on are absolutely first class, which also pleases our
customers who then recommend us to other businesses."

Neville Williams from 5 Star Security Services

"Key Account Managers at Shaw Trust have taken the time to understand us and the key requirements of the roles we recruit for. They have helped build our reputation
locally as an employer of choice; we have held open days at their premises that have been designed to give candidates a greater understanding of opportunities here, and give them the confidence and support to apply.’ Louise Martin from O2
‘I wouldn’t go anywhere else for staff unless I really have to. If I need more staff I pick
up the phone to Shaw Trust because, compared to people I have employed from other sources, they are without exception the better employees and I wouldn’t hesitate in recommending Shaw Trust to other businesses."

Simon Parsons from AVIS

"We have a really fantastic and powerful relationship with Shaw Trust... as a business we save money because we don’t have to pay agency fees. Most importantly, we get people who are hungry to work... they ensure that candidates are job ready and we get a better employee as a result."

Matt Cove from MKDons
