Claire – Operations Manager, Bedford

I joined 1^st Choice in 2001…and can honestly say that I have never thought about leaving! I joined as a trainee and have developed through the business over the years and now head up a team of 8 in our Bedford branch.  Training is always available, internal workshops and external recruitment specialist training has helped me progress and excel in my role.  Having the support there when I need it, always feeling appreciated and respected as well as having that flexibility required as a Mum are all reasons that I am so happy here as well as the ability to earn great money and drive a great car!

 

Debs Kelly, Finance Manager

20 years at 1^st Choice Staff Recruitment Ltd, I think that says it all!

From a part time accounts assistant to Finance Manager, bringing up children and caring for elderly parents , 1^st Choice have been there with me, every step of the way.  The support in both my professional and personal life has been more than I could ever have wished for.

A great place to work where I feel respected, listened to and allowed to have a voice.  The training and rewards have been great.  Looking forward to another 10 years of working together!

 

 

Charleigh Shipp, Recruitment Assistant, Biggleswade

I originally started with 1^st Choice in the Huntingdon office as Branch Administrator. This was my first ever “grown up” job and little did I know, the first step in my career. It was here that I developed as an Administrator, learning the ropes with payroll and assisting with the temporary desk.   After 2 years in the role, I fulfilled my dream and went travelling for 8 months to Australia, New Zealand and Thailand. 1^st Choice contacted me fairly soon after I arrived home, and I now work as a Recruitment Assistant in the Biggleswade office, assisting on the temporary desk, and I couldn’t be happier. My next challenge is to complete my REC qualification in the coming months. Watch this space!
