Welcome to Valour Recruitment
Specialist staffing support for children's residential homes, grounded in real sector experience.
Children's residential care staffing built from experience
We are a specialist staffing provider for children's residential homes, built from real experience working on the ground within the sector. Valour was created after seeing the difference that the right staff can make not only to providers, but to the lives of the young people they support every day.
We believe in professionalism, reliability, consistency and genuine care. Rather than focusing on becoming the biggest agency, we keep our team close knit so we can focus on quality over quantity and build a strong, trusted team of staff who share the same values as us.
Our goal is simple, to provide homes with dependable, experienced staff who bring the right energy, attitude and support into every shift.
Reliable when we need cover quickly
"Valour understands residential care and the pressure homes can be under. The staff put forward are calm, reliable and ready to support the shift properly."
