ACORN
Environmental Solutions
For the last eight years we have worked closely with local authorities, the private sector and charities to support people into employment both by direct recruitment and working to upskill those wanting to progress into front line vacancies such as refuse collection, street sweeping, grounds maintenance staff, school caretakers and office cleaning.
More recently we have been working across a range of sectors helping people gain employment in the hospitality sector, warehousing and production and office work.
We do this in a number of ways but all of our support and the training we promote is free of charge to our customers and clients which creates a truly unique recruitment model.
There is no training fee, no recruitment fee, no management fee, simply NO Fee!
We want to work with organisations who wish to recruit new employees and upskill and recognise their employees and key workers through providing accredited qualifications to assist their personal development and future opportunities.
To find suitable candidates, we work in local communities via a national network of organisations including Jobcentre Plus, work programmes and charities across England.
