CARITAS RECRUITMENT LTD
CARITAS RECRUITMENT LTD is a private limited company registered in England and Wales under company number 06728939. It was incorporated on 21 October 2008 and its registered office is at 5th Floor, 4 Coleman Street, London, EC2R 5AR. Companies House records the company as active, classified under SIC code 78200, temporary employment agency activities.
Trading as Caritas Recruitment, the company is a specialist recruitment agency operating in the UK social care sector. Its own website describes placement activity across children’s services, adult services, mental health, domestic violence, substance misuse and homelessness support, as well as placements with NHS trusts, covering both permanent and temporary roles. The company operates across multiple UK locations, including London, Birmingham, Liverpool and Manchester.
Caritas Recruitment Ltd is not connected to Caritas Internationalis or any affiliated Catholic charity confederation; the shared word “Caritas” in the trading name is coincidental, and Companies House and the company’s own website confirm it as an independent commercial recruitment business.
The company is part of the Ngage Specialist Recruitment corporate group. A Companies House persons-with-significant-control filing dated 6 April 2016 records Ngage Specialist Recruitment Limited (company number 06189822) as holding 75% or more of the company’s shares and voting rights, with the right to appoint or remove directors.
Caritas Recruitment Ltd’s most recent director appointment took effect on 30 June 2026, when Richard Andrew Jackson joined the board, on the same date that former director Andrew Jeremy Burchall resigned. No standalone revenue or employee figures for the legal entity, separate from the wider group, were located in public filings.

Group Structure
Caritas Recruitment Ltd is not an independent company; it is part of a multi-tier private corporate group. Its immediate parent is Ngage Specialist Recruitment Limited (company number 06189822), confirmed by a Companies House persons-with-significant-control (PSC) filing notified 6 April 2016 recording 75% or more ownership of shares and voting rights. Ngage Specialist Recruitment Limited is itself majority-controlled by Westminster Bidco Limited (09308031), which is majority-controlled by Westminster Midco2 Limited (09307982); both relationships are separately confirmed by their own Companies House PSC filings, each notified 6 April 2016.
