Who We Are

We are an award winning privately owned recruitment business which specialises in both private & public sector recruitment. We provide a thoroughly professional and high quality recruitment service to both clients and candidates. Our main client portfolio includes Local Authorities, Housing Associations, The Ministry of Defence, Consultancies, Contractors, Sub-Contractors and other private & public sector organisations throughout the UK.

We supply temporary solutions at short notice to cover human resource shortages, meet increases in demand and boost performance, and permanent consultative solutions at all levels to ensure that long-term business strategies are met.

We have youth work jobs, employment and training jobs, youth offending jobs, basic skills jobs, entry to employment jobs, Connexions jobs as well as NVQ assessment jobs. Roles which are regularly being recruited for include substance misuse worker jobs, employment advisor jobs, outreach tutor jobs, positive activities management jobs, ISSP officer jobs and youth project management jobs.

At Oyster we understand that quality and speed of service are essential components of a successful business relationship.  Over the course of time we have endeavoured to stay ahead of the pack by introducing ground-breaking ideas such as OysterTime, our online timesheet and reporting system, and also by gaining relevant professional qualifications and accreditations as our client base diversifies.

Internally we ensure that all staff are given superior levels of training and support, and externally we enjoy being an organisation that prides itself on its outward perception, not least by becoming the first public sector recruitment specialists to be given Carbon Neutral status.  In December 2008 we were awarded the accolade of featuring in The Sunday Times Virgin Fast Track 100, and we hope to continue this level of professionalism and success throughout the coming years.
