Fantastic from start to finish, Ste is a great fella. Always on the end of the phone to offer help guidance and support a real genuine guy. It's hard to find someone that takes pride in everything he does, and how professional he is and how he delivers is next to none. I would highly recommend Ste and Thrive personnel to anyone looking to get into the residential support work industry. Ste is a boss lad very quick to reply and help whenever and wherever he can. Thank you for everything. Lee

Thank you so much for this, it truly means a lot.

The skills, values, and discipline you’ve built over many years in the Armed Forces, the Prison Service, and through your community work with young people really shine through and are invaluable in this sector.

There’s no doubt you’re going to do great things for young people moving forward. Thank you again for being you, also the trust and the recommendation, it’s massively appreciated.

Chelsea thank you so much for the lovely review, it genuinely means a lot. You came in and absolutely lit up the room, and you nailed your first interview with us. You’re going to be an incredible credit to the company and, most importantly, to the young people there.

Even without direct experience in children’s residential care, your background is highly transferable, and your attitude, energy, and willingness to learn are everything this field needs. You’re a perfect example of how far a positive outlook and the right preparation can take you.

Well done, and thank you again, you should be really proud of yourself! 👏

I had a really nice experience working with Ste. From the very beginning, he was so helpful, making sure that the roles he presented were a good fit, not just sending over any job but ones that matched my skills. What stood out was how down to earth and approachable he is. Ste kept in regular contact throughout, checking in to see how things were going and offering support. He genuinely cared about finding the right opportunity for me. Thanks to Ste’s guidance, I was offered two great roles, and I honestly don’t think I could have secured them without his help. I would highly recommend Ste to anyone looking for a recruiter who is professional, attentive, and genuinely invested.

Initially when I first spoke to Ste I was sceptical and actually gave him a hard time on the phone. But after talking to him I realised he was the real deal. Extremely professional and did everything for me. My CV was outstanding that he did. He arranged everything and has been supportive throughout and always keeps in touch. Honestly I can't recommend him and his services enough.

Hey, thanks a million for taking the time to write this — it genuinely means a lot.

I remember that first call too! Your caution made perfect sense (unknown number and all the usual noise out there), but glad you followed that hunch to pick up. From the moment we spoke, I could tell you had plenty to offer; all you needed was a CV that did the talking and a game-plan behind it.

Seeing you land a role you love and then power ahead in just a few short months is exactly why I do what I do. Credit where it’s due: you put in the work, trusted the process, and backed yourself. I’m just pleased I could help clear the path.

I’ll still be here whenever you need a sounding board or a quick tweak to the CV as your journey evolves. Keep doing what you’re doing mate :)

Ste is a great guy who really helped me secure a position with an employer I was keen to work with. He took the time to get to know me and understand what I was looking for, then matched me with opportunities that suited both me and the employers. He gave me several great options, but one stood out—and I’m now happily employed there. I’m genuinely grateful for his support and would highly recommend him to anyone. Thanks mate.

If more people had the attitude and energy that Ste brings, the world would undoubtedly be a better place. From start to finish, he takes care of you, ensuring that any issues or concerns you have are addressed promptly. He is always available, day or late into the evening, providing nothing but person-centered support to help you find the right role. The level of service he provides is truly next-level customer service. It's evident that a man like Ste genuinely loves helping others, and that level of dedication feels rare these days. Thank you once again for helping me find opportunities that worked best for me and for supporting me in securing the role I wanted.
