Did you know it was around now, 5 years ago, that the idea of LT Support really started forming and in less than 5 months it’s going to be our 5th birthday!
LT Support was grown out of a desire to be different and to bring recruitment back to its core value. Being furloughed gave Laura Tanner the time to reflect on her career in recruitment and debate whether her experience and knowledge could be a driver for change in a market filled with a lot of large corporations, KPIs, sales and grey areas.
Along with Charlie Pazo Alonso (who would later become the missing piece of the puzzle), our families and collaborators, a lot of discussions were held around what was missing in Education/Supported Living Recruitment, what could be done better or differently, to focus on people not sales.
𝙏𝙝𝙚 5 𝙠𝙚𝙮 𝙖𝙧𝙚𝙖𝙨 𝙗𝙚𝙘𝙖𝙢𝙚 𝙘𝙡𝙚𝙖𝙧:
𝗧𝗿𝗮𝗻𝘀𝗽𝗮𝗿𝗲𝗻𝗰𝘆 – from day 1 we have provided clear breakdowns to candidates and clients alike from PAYE rate to Employment Costs, Umbrella Rate, Margin etc
𝗟𝗶𝘀𝘁𝗲𝗻𝗶𝗻𝗴 – Listen to everything; what a school/establishment needs, what the budget is, constraints; what a candidate is looking for…
𝗡𝗼 𝗞𝗣𝗜𝘀 – not targeting ourselves. Whether that be calls made, candidate registrations, school visits, days or placements confirmed. We don’t want people to feel they are a tick box or number.
𝗚𝗶𝘃𝗲 𝗕𝗮𝗰𝗸 – Having donated resources to a local school during lockdown and seeing the impact this had, it ignited an idea that became LT Partners. Did you know for each timesheet processed a portion of it goes towards a resource a school can claim? Find out more here: https://lnkd.in/eU2HwSWD
𝗛𝗼𝗻𝗲𝘀𝘁𝘆 – If we cannot help you, we point you to someone that can. Rates unrealistic – we’ll tell you why. Remember, this is all done to keep people as humans.
To this day our focus remains on helping people find the right role and helping our end client find their missing piece. It has given us recognition from peers and we’ve won some amazing awards too!
We have looked at what we can do to help manage budgets as well as offering flexibility to clients including 50% rebate terms for 12 weeks for permanent placements and fixed margins for Teachers, Support and Operations (we even have rate cards for you to see the full breakdown from April 2025 with the new ENI and NMW rates) – email info@LT-Support.co.uk for your copy.
If you are looking for something different from your current recruitment partner, or perhaps looking to engage with an agency for the first time and are based in Essex or London we would love to hear from you. Call us on 01708 204494 or email info@LT-Support.co.uk
