Waste charity launches Recycling Lives People

Waste management charity Recycling Lives has launched its own specialist recruitment business.

Recycling Lives uses its commercial operations, primarily in the recycling and waste management sector, to create social good by directly supporting and sustaining its own social and charitable programmes.

These programmes work to reduce reoffending rates, homelessness and food poverty through offender rehabilitation, a residential charity and food redistribution.

Recycling Lives People will now work with national clients to place high calibre candidates to enhance businesses, both for specialist roles or participants of the social programmes looking to turn their lives around.

William Fletcher, managing director of the Recycling Lives Group, said: “Our decision to establish Recycling Lives People within the Recycling Lives Group is borne of our ethos of creating opportunities and our commitment to delivering the best solutions to our clients.

"Our HMP Academies and residential charity programmes have already provided excellent candidates so our clients asked us to provide further recruitment solutions across their businesses.”

Recycling Lives People will offer permanent, contract and temp recruitment solutions, managed services and recruitment process outsourcing. Its team are specialists at finding candidates for the IT, cyber security, engineering, construction and facilities management, office and hospitality, professional services, and manufacturing and industrial sectors.

Recycling Lives People will also offer services to place ex-offenders in a variety of roles across national businesses, supporting clients to create real social impact through employment opportunities. Recycling Lives social programmes have already placed participants in a wide variety of organisations, including with national utilities firm United Utilities and international clean energy firm Green Growth Ltd.
