I have worked for Ocala for over two years now. They are a family-run business and offer great opportunities, and flexibility, and are always there for support. The work fits in very well with other commitments and family life. Best work decision I have ever made. Great company to work for!

So far, it has been five great months of my career at Ocala Recruitment. It feels superb to be part of a team with a strong foundation of shared values and recognises you for the commitment and efforts you put into your work. Which only adds more fuel to keep delivering the highest quality of care.

Refreshing to see a business that’s so hands on & passionate about their clients and workers. Just finished my two day training with Ocala, and I already feel like a valued member rather than a number! Sam was very engaging and you could tell she was genuinely passionate about what’s she does and teaches!

One of the best places I have had the pleasure of working. The team are welcoming and friendly. I have only been with them for a shortly while but feel part of team already as my opinions are listened too and taken on board. I would highly recommend anyone who is thinking of joining to do so.
