Who Are Tezlom?

Tezlom is an independent UK healthcare recruitment agency, started in Southport by the Armitages in 2008. Its six letters spell out the six pillars we live by.

Looking after people is the whole job. Clients and their service users, agency workers, head-office staff, the lot. We are 100% committed to keeping everyone at Tezlom happy and healthy.

In a nutshell, we specialise in the recruitment of Care Assistants, Support Workers and Registered Nurses. What started out as one Southport office has grown into an established franchise that serves some of the UK's largest, most renowned care providers. EMI Homes, Mental Health Hospitals, Learning Disability Units and more.

Why "Tezlom"? The story behind our name

Tezlom was started in Southport by the Armitages and has grown into a network of local offices up and down the UK, in all different colours, shapes and sizes. The name is not an accident: its six letters spell out the six things we hold ourselves to, and they are the same six things we look for in the people we place.

We look for the best in everyone: our staff, our franchisees and our candidates.

Our name spells out our six pillars

The letters of Tezlom stand for the six core pillars that keep us close, working together as one tight-knit community of people who care:

Transparency

Open and honest with our staff, franchisees and candidates, keeping everyone informed at every stage and building trust from the offset.

Equality

Everyone deserves a chance. Everyone is treated in an equal and fair way, free from prejudice and preference, regardless of circumstance.

Zealous

Dedicated and zealous by nature, always offering a helping hand to make someone's life that little bit easier.

Loyalty

Built on people. When times get hard, Tezlom will be there to pick you up, dust you off and point you back down the right road.

Organic

We truly care about people, investing time and effort into every individual so they can grow, prosper and make a difference.

Motivation

Everything we do needs a 'why'. We set concise, achievable goals that make us strive to be that little bit better than we were yesterday.

Who we work with

We supply nursing homes, EMI homes, residential care, mental health hospitals, secure units, learning disability services, supported living and schools nationwide, some of the UK's largest and most renowned care providers among them.
