Meet Sorcha: Driving the Growth of Elevate’s Business Support Division

With a strong background in temporary healthcare recruitment and a passion for connecting people with opportunities, Sorcha brings fresh energy and drive to a division that is already gaining real momentum. Her focus will be on strengthening relationships with both clients and candidates in the Business Support space, ensuring businesses can access the reliable, adaptable talent they need to keep operations running smoothly — across both temporary and permanent appointments.

What made you want to join Elevate Partners, and what excites you most about helping to grow a brand-new division here?

I was drawn to Elevate Partners because of their reputation for building long-term, trusted relationships with both clients and candidates. The chance to be part of growing a new temporary division in office support is really exciting. It’s an opportunity to shape something further, bring fresh energy to the market, and establish Elevate as the go-to partner for office support staffing.

You’ve had experience in temporary healthcare recruitment — how do you see that fast-paced background helping you as you build relationships in the office support market?

Working in temporary healthcare taught me how to thrive in a fast-paced, high-pressure environment where finding the right person quickly makes a huge difference. That experience sharpened my ability to act decisively and build strong, trust-based relationships. Those skills transfer perfectly into the office support market, where businesses often need reliable talent at short notice and candidates want to work with someone who understands the urgency of securing a role.

Business development will be a big part of your role — what’s your approach to connecting with new clients and showing them the value Elevate can bring?

For me, it always starts with listening. Every client has unique challenges and goals, so I focus on really understanding what they need before offering solutions. Once I have that understanding, I can show them how Elevate’s consultative approach, extensive candidate network, and commitment to service add real value — not just in filling roles quickly but in helping them build stronger teams for the long term.

What kind of business support roles do you enjoy working on most, and what opportunities do you see for candidates in this space right now?

I enjoy working on the roles that are essential to keeping a business running smoothly — from administrators and receptionists to HR staff, payroll assistants, office managers, and personal or executive assistants. These positions form the backbone of any organisation, and it’s rewarding to see the difference the right hire can make, both day-to-day and in the long run. Right now, there are fantastic opportunities for office support candidates to step into roles with real growth potential. Businesses are particularly keen on adaptable, proactive individuals who can add value beyond their job description.

Outside of work, when you’re not speaking with clients and candidates, how do you like to unwind or recharge?

Balance is important to me. I enjoy running and going to the gym to stay active, but I also love a cosy night in with Netflix. Whether it’s a workout or a good series, it helps me recharge and switch off from the day.

We’re excited to have Sorcha on board and look forward to seeing her impact in strengthening Elevate’s Office Support recruitment offering. If you’d like to learn more about how Elevate can support your hiring needs across both temporary and permanent office support roles, please get in touch.
