People First. Always.
Exceptional People Create Exceptional Outcomes.
CANDL is an independent workforce partner specialising in Social Care and Education.
Our approach is personal, straightforward and relationship-led.
We take the time to understand the organisations we partner with and the professionals we represent.
We're here to build relationships, strengthen workforces and help the organisations we support deliver better outcomes for the people who depend on them.
That's What Shaping Brighter Futures Means To Us.
Our Story
More Than Recruitment.
CANDL was created to provide a more personal and partnership-led approach to workforce support.
We believe understanding an organisation matters just as much as understanding the vacancy.
That's why we take the time to understand the service, its people, its culture and where it wants to go.
Our ambition isn't to become another supplier.
We want to become a trusted extension of the organisations we support.
Meet the founder
Built On Experience. Driven By Purpose.
CANDL is founder-led by Charm Dube, bringing over a decade of recruitment experience alongside first-hand involvement within education.
Charm also serves as a school governor and has direct experience of the EHCP process, providing a genuine understanding of some of the challenges faced by schools, families and young people with additional needs.
That experience shapes the way CANDL approaches workforce support.
We understand that a CV only tells part of someone's story. Character, values, consistency and the ability to connect with the people you support matter too.
