Corporate Social Responsibility
At Permanent Solutions Direct, we are building a company with integrity and social conscience. As such, we are mindful of the importance of working within the wider community.
We have taken the opportunity to help others with our business acumen and knowledge, built up over 33 years collectively within recruitment.
Through our commitment as a business to engage with as many community projects and voluntary organisations as possible we have consistently dedicated between 75 – 100 hours of support per year.
Lisa Jarvis is a Fellow of the IRP (www.rec-irp.uk.com) and a voluntary member of the Steering and Awarding Committee for the REC’s Certificate in Recruitment Practice qualification.
The Certificate is an ideal qualification for those new to the industry or those with experience but without any formal training or qualification, and the REC are now a recognised Ofqual Awarding Body (Ofqual are the Government’s Office of the Qualifications and Examinations Regulator). More information can be found at http://www.rec.uk.com/qualifications.
The Sussex Business Education Partnership
West Sussex Education Business Partnership (EBP) is dedicated to developing links between education and business for the benefit of both. Working together we raise standards of achievement and prepare young people for the world of work.
The team from Permanent Solutions Direct have been working with the EBP for several years and commit to attend at least one event per month in a local secondary school participating in such events as Career Speed Dating (our favourite!) Interview Techniques Workshops, Mock Interviews and Industry Based Challenges. For further details on how to get involved in the project as a volunteer visit their website on http://www.wsxebp.org.uk/volunteer.html
The Farlington Apprentice
Farlington Apprentice is an annual competition run by Farlington School for Girls for their Year 10 pupils who are aged 14 and 15 years old.
Over the 5 days six pupils have to perform a range of tasks set by businesses in the community to determine which one of them will be crowned the winner, or in the words of Lord Sugar, “hired”!!
