Employee Spotlight - Phoebe Bone and Vicky Bates
At TLTP recognising our employees and supporting them to climb the career ladder is one of our core values. We pride ourselves in supporting all our employees to reach their full potential and in doing so we have a strong and loyal workforce.
This month we are delighted to recognise two members of our medical team who over recent months have gone over and above the call of duty to ensure all of their clients and candidates needs have been met, especially during the tough times we are facing.
Phoebe Bone and Vicky Bates, both valued members of the medical primary care team have excelled in their roles and it is a pleasure to promote them to Principal Recruitment Consultant.
Phoebe joined TLTP in September 2014 originally working in the Education division to support schools with their recruitment needs. After a successful five years, an opportunity became available to work within the primary care team in the Medical division. Phoebe grabbed this with both hands and needless to say she flourished ever since.
Vicky Bates joined TLTP in April 2015, her previous background in medical recruitment made her a natural fit for our medical division. Over the years Vicky has played an instrumental part in supporting the growth of various NHS projects and strengthening relationships with key clients.
Together, both Phoebe and Vicky lead the day to day running of the primary care team for Hertfordshire and Essex, and most recently supporting their co-workers in our domiciliary care division; TLTP Care to ensure the highest standards of patient care is delivered.
Being able to promote from within gives us immense satisfaction knowing that our workforce is growing, developing and creating new opportunities for everyone in the business.
We thank them for all their hard work, consistent effort, loyalty and the value they add to the company.
We wish them the very best of luck in their new roles.

Access to PPE and testing for temporary staff
The Recruitment & Employment Confederation (REC) has called for the government to ensure that temporary and locum staff working in the NHS and the care sector are provided with equal access to PPE and COVID-19 testing kits. Half (48%) of specialist recruiters have flagged this as a major concern in the fight against Coronavirus.
These agency health and social care staff are vital in the fight against Coronavirus, and they must be able to carry out their duties as safely as their colleagues who are permanent staff. This call comes as part of a four-point plan from the REC to help bridge staffing shortages and ensure that we harness the expertise of specialist health and social care recruiters during this pandemic. The manifesto, ‘Backing the NHS and care sector at a time of crisis’, also sets out how government can work with the recruitment sector to:
- build agile and sustainable recruitment supply chains; compliance checks and hiring processes must remain effective but must be sped up to meet demand for staff;
- set the right standards for recruitment by developing a formal partnership agreement with the Department for Health & Social Care; and
- take a lead on longer-term workforce planning by launching a review of future NHS and care sector workforce strategy and reviewing immigration policy.
Tom Hadley, Director of Policy and Campaigns at the REC, said: “We want to work with the NHS and care sector to ensure that all workers, including temporary and locum staff who are providing crucial frontline support, are kept safe at work. Looking at the longer-term, 70% of healthcare recruiters would welcome a post-crisis review of how flexible staffing can best be harnessed. The NHS already had 100,000 unfilled vacancies prior to the pandemic – we want to build a genuine partnership approach with government to pre-empt and address both immediate and future workforce challenges.
“The recruitment industry places more than a million people into temporary, contract and locum placements every day. We want to work with the government to harness the contribution of recruitment experts during this time of national emergency, and this manifesto sets out four priority areas that will help to make this happen.”

Carers Recruitment and Induction Day
Last week we held our monthly recruitment and induction day where our carers received their training in order for them to go out to work this week.
It was another successful event where we were able to get to know our carers a little better and they also got to know us too.
Our carers are now ready to service the residents of Waltham Forest and provide the essential care they require.
We are constantly recruiting for various care projects within both the NHS and private sectors in Kent, Surrey, Southampton, Hertfordshire and Essex.
All our roles offer great flexibility, from full-time, part-time to just a few hours a week. It’s the perfect role that lets you be in control of the hours you work. And, most importantly it is highly rewarding as the care you provide makes a positive difference to those who are their most vulnerable.
