Ben Arnold - Managing Director
Ben began his career in recruitment straight from graduating from the University of North London. His first job was recruiting for a small care work agency based on Holloway Road, Islington. From there Ben went on to join a large central London social work recruitment agency and it is there that he learnt his trade.
In 2000 Ben began Amicus Recruit with the belief that he could offer more to his candidates and deliver a professional service to his clients that added value. Much has changed since then - both in terms of social work recruitment practice and technology advances - however the delivery of safeguarded candidates who have been met face to face has not changed in 14 years. It is this belief that has led to Amicus Recruit retaining its standing against some other industry giants who have more recently joined the market.
Ben is not alone in the management of Amicus Recruit, and is complimented by James Brown, a former Qualified Social Worker and Michael Jeffries, a Certified Chartered Accountant. Together they form 3d Recruit under which Amicus proudly trades, alongside its sister company SocialWork 2000.
If you have any questions for Ben, he is always on hand to talk or meet with you. Our candidates and clients are the integral part of Amicus, and he is always keen to hear your views and ideas for the future.
"I am immensely proud of the advancements that we as a company have made, along with our continual commitment to raising the standards of social work recruitment. The team here at Amicus just get better and better, and our candidates are some of the best social workers in the profession. Being a part of their careers and assisting in their progression through the provision of CPD training is something we hold dear.
Our vision for the future is to continue to provide the social work profession with a principled recruitment service that is sustainable and positively enhances people's careers and our clients success".
