Aspirational mentorship with BW3
Business Working with Wythenshawe (BW3) is an amazing organisation with a mission to support, inspire, innovate & volunteer in Wythenshawe, Manchester. Wythenshawe was home to a Recruitment Panda ® office between 2015-2021.
BW3:
- Established in 2002
- Inaugurated as a charity 2020
Members of the Recruitment Panda ® team take part in their Aspirational Mentorship programme which involves training, before being partnered with a GCSE or A-Level student from local schools and colleges. We meet regularly, helping support, guide and encourage through key stages of education and/or entry into the working world.
BW3's Aspirational mentorship programme:
- Launched in 2011
- Has helped 88% of mentored students into full-time training, employment or university
James Eldon, principal of Manchester Enterprise Academy described it as a “revolution in aspiration”.
As consultant recruiters, our insight of the world of employment has been valued by mentees and BW3. We have been asked to increase our involvement and are very glad to do so.
Socio-economically, Wythenshawe is thought to be a disadvantaged area of the city. In the not-too-distant past, The New York Times described Wythenshawe as an "extreme pocket of social deprivation and alienation". We challenge that negative impression of our neighbourhood because the Wythenshawe we recognise is this, far more up to date, view of our amazing home.
Through our involvement with BW3 Recruitment Panda ® joins companies such as Manchester Airports Group, Microsoft, The Co-op, Laing O' Rourke, Amazon and others in doing so, supporting the region's future economy, through education and empowerment.

On a mission to demystify recruitment: 
1. Enabling EMPLOYERS WHO CARE - regardless of skills shortages, to defy the odds and build brilliant teams.
2. Making placements that stand the test of time - helping job seekers secure jobs they really see themselves sticking at, for the long term.
3. Filling job vacancies that others cannot - the hardest to fill positions, in the most difficult locations and with the most stringent of requirements.
EMPLOYERS WHO CARE is not just a strap line.
Recruitment Panda ® is an employer who cares, serving employers who care and we believe that culture eats strategy for breakfast.
Consequently, we pride ourselves on, not just hunting down scarce skill sets but on representing ONLY the most conscientious of employers and putting them together with ONLY the most conscientious of employees.
We do so because, let's be honest, at times it's a jungle out there. The most skilled and talented professionals are fiercely coveted and top jobs are hotly contested.
Navigating your next career move? In this environment, you deserve the best advice, truly professional representation, choice, the opportunity to properly consider your options and, without doubt, the best possible pay and conditions.
Developing your business's results? In this environment, you know bog-standard recruitment infrastructure and mediocre practices simply don't cut it. Recruitment Panda ® exists to give employers who care, the competitive advantage that best practice Recruitment Consultancy provides, irrespective of your size, wealth or challenges.
A MISSION OF OUR OWN...
We don't just care about our clients and candidates.
It's a little-known fact that our Managing Director Sam Sanderson's wife is a Doctor of Clinical Psychology.
More than that, she is considered a Highly Specialist Clinical Psychologist in the field of children and young people's mental health.
Job-wise, she is currently a Senior Clinical Psychologist responsible for related service design and delivery in an integrated role (employed by the NHS embedded in a Local Authority) in the North of England. Anna also has a burgeoning private practice and is one of the world's leading experts on imaginary friends in childhood.
All of this is to say that Sam and Anna (and Recruitment Panda ® and Nurture Psychology Ltd by extension) share a mission to destigmatise mental health issues, increase accessibility to mental health support and to enhance the wellness of as many people as possible.
Recruitment Panda ® already provides facilities and resources for mental health professionals.
On a not-for-profit basis, our offices at Station House, Stamford New Road, Altrincham, WA14 1EP are available for the use of mental health practitioners, therapists and professionals in need of a professional workspace.
In the future it's our ambition to host community cafes, offering drop-in sessions focused on wellness in all its forms and, for example, CBT, DBT & other therapies, both psychological and complementary, combined with yoga, meditation and other physical therapies.
