About Sanctuary

Sanctuary Personnel Limited

 

Company History 

Sanctuary began trading in 2002. We are a specialist firm providing qualified social workers and care professionals to Social Services throughout the UK. Our fast response times and our dedication to best practice have established us as preferred suppliers to over one-hundred UK Councils (at March 2008), with clients in almost every Local Authority.

Whenever a client asks for something extra, we deliver it - and we then make it the new benchmark for our other clients. This keeps us at the forefront of the industry and helps us maintain the credentials seen on this page.
