Robert Walters

Robert Walters IT Contract Division recruits Technology contractors for Financial Services and Commerce and Industry clients. We align our consultants in a vertical matrix to prioritise candidate skillsets and sector knowledge.

Robert Walters plc is one of the world's leading specialist professional recruitment consultancies with 51 offices spanning 23 countries. 

The vast majority of our competitors operate on an individual commission basis however success through team performance and a non-commision based renumeration model are fundamental values at Robert Walters, when speaking to clients and candidates or interviewing people to join my team I can honestly say that this strategy serves long term relationships.

Because every recruitment challenge is characterised by differing circumstances our candidate sourcing campaigns and solutions are designed specifically for each client.

As a team leader I have been responsible for the welfare, training and development of subordinates as well as bearing overall responsibility for mission success. 

I left the RAF in Dec 2012 and took a role in recruitment. During this time I made the decision to follow my passion for exercise and take my fitness work fulltime. I left Robert Walters after an enjoyable year to establish my own business.

SOLA OUTREACH COMMUNITY INTEREST COMPANY

SOLA Outreach CIC was created to provide alternative pathways to young people caught in a cycle of offending and criminality. With our partners in New York, we developed accessible entrepreneurship training programmes to provide offenders with the skill-set and tool-set to harness their entrepreneurial instincts to develop business ideas into legitimate businesses and provide themselves we income and self-esteem. 

We partnered with skills provider Working Links Limited to deliver entrepreneurship training across London and in prisons and YOI's. We also partnered with Gordon Ramsays 'Bad Boys Bakery' to ensure chefs that when through his programme could monetise the skills they learned upon release.

Our mission was to empower people by equipping, inspiring and enabling them to work hard to achieve their aims. Without relying on charity, government welfare, or crime.

We also developed with partners in London including @UniqueTalent programmes to help offenders exit gangs and gang-related offending and desist from carrying weapons. Delivering a number of workshops across London schools.

Ultimately we ran out of funding after failing to secure a number of government bids we applied for.

Although ultimately this project failed - From a personal perspective, this was a rewarding and important journey for me, giving me exposure to national and regional politics and politicians, funding bodies, policy-makers, charities, social enterprises, B-Corps and corporate philanthropy.
