Background

About James Eddison

I help local authorities across the UK build stronger, more resilient leadership teams in Children’s Social Care. With over 15 years’ experience in public sector recruitment, I’ve partnered with senior leaders to deliver executive and interim appointments that drive real impact, whether that’s stabilising services, supporting improvement journeys or delivering niche project-based work. Now at Moxie People, I’m proud to align my work with a team that puts people and purpose first. We’re not your typical recruitment agency, we’re values-led, community-minded and deeply embedded in the sector. We give 5% of our profits back through the Moxie Foundation and support job seekers through initiatives like Working Wardrobe. The feedback I’ve received over the years has consistently reinforced the value of a thoughtful, honest, and human approach to recruitment. That alignment of values is what led me to join Moxie People, an organisation that shares my belief in doing recruitment differently. With a clear purpose behind everything we do, I’m excited to bring this new desk to life and continue supporting the sector in a way that truly makes a difference. I work with- SMT level candidates and clients from Heads of Service to Director level - CEOs and senior leaders commissioning external expertise - Project-based consultants delivering improvement and transformation If you’re looking for a executive recruitment partner who’s values-led, sector-savvy and easy to work with, let’s talk.
