Julia Harris  Following a successful career in industry, Julia founded her first business North West Childcare in 1999 (now trading as Harris Childcare Recruitment) after looking for a nanny for her own children and finding herself unsatisfied with the standard of help available.  

Julia then set up The Housekeeper Company, specialising in providing housekeepers and other domestic staff to clients nationwide. This then led to the launch of  The Carer Company, providing companion/carers in households.  

A mother of two sons and a very spoilt small dog, our yardstick for applicants is whether we would feel comfortable having them working in our own home and we only proceed if the answer is yes.

One of the most trusted, respected names in childcare and domestic recruitment, with thousands of successful placements to her name, Julia knows exactly what our clients require from a recruitment agency. All of this expertise is brought together in her company – Harris Recruitment.

Julia has advised government ministers on childcare strategy; spoken at various cross-parliamentary meetings about overseas domestic workers; and advised the Home Office on skills shortages in the Care and Live in Sectors.

2017 has seen Julia steer Harris Recruitment into a new venture, offering bespoke corporate recruitment, through Harris Corporate Recruitment. Utilising the team’s experience from working previously in various sectors of the corporate world and using the same careful placement matching skills that Harris Recruitment is well known for, Julia is certain that this new Division will prove to be as successful as the others.

To simplify things, all of these divisions now trade as Harris Recruitment.
