History
Origins of Lupa: A Journey from Personal Experience to Entrepreneurship

"Lupa was originally established by a former support worker and full-time mother. Balancing the demands of parenthood with a career, I recognised the necessity for flexibility to accommodate childcare responsibilities and family commitments.
During my tenure, I maintained a flexible schedule, including nights and weekends, to meet the needs of my employer. However, this lack of structured hours and boundaries led to challenges in maintaining a healthy work-life balance, impacting both my children and my mental well-being.
Following my departure from the care sector due to burnout, I transitioned temporarily into an office management and sales role.
It was during this period that I facilitated the sale of an office to a healthcare recruitment company, discovering a natural affinity for this line of work.
Realising the potential to provide similar opportunities for others, I founded Lupa. My experiences underscored the value of flexible employment arrangements, allowing individuals to select assignments according to their preferences without the constraints of a traditional full-time position.
Lupa was conceived with the objective of bridging the gap between companies in need of dedicated social care staff and individuals seeking flexible employment options. Our mission is to facilitate mutually beneficial arrangements that cater to the needs of both employers and employees."

Embracing Mythology: The Inspiration Behind Lupa Recruitment
Lupa Recruitment draws inspiration from the timeless tale of Romulus and Remus, the legendary founders of Rome, nurtured by a she-wolf. This ancient myth symbolises strength, resilience, and nurturing care, qualities embedded within Lupa's ethos.
Just as the she-wolf protected and nurtured the twins, Lupa Recruitment embodies these values, fostering a culture of support, growth, and empowerment. By embracing the spirit of the Lupa, our company honors a legacy of integrity and compassion, guiding its journey to empower individuals and organisations alike.
