James Paton

James is a Team Leader and Senior Executive Consultant at Domus, specialising in senior management recruitment across the community care sector. He recruits from Deputy Manager through to C-Suite level across London, Essex, Kent, Surrey and Sussex. 

James has a genuine personal connection to the care sector, with his mum working as a carer and his grandma receiving home care. This has given him a strong understanding of the importance of great leadership and the direct impact the right appointment can have on the quality of care people receive. 

Clients, candidates and colleagues can expect persistence, professionalism and honest communication when working with James, as well as an enjoyable recruitment experience. He takes the time to understand what people are looking for and believes recruitment should be a genuine partnership rather than simply filling vacancies. His approach combines hard work and market expertise with a friendly, personable style that helps make the recruitment process as smooth as possible. 

Having specialised exclusively in domiciliary care recruitment for the past five years, James has built an extensive network and a deep understanding of the challenges facing both providers and professionals across the sector. He particularly enjoys finding the perfect match, helping candidates find organisations whose values and culture genuinely align with their own. 

James is proud of the wider impact he and the team have helped make across the sector. Over the past three years, they have contributed to increasing the average salary for Registered Managers from £35,000 to £43,900, alongside an average increase of three days in annual leave allowance.
