Sarah Seaford

Sarah is a highly skilled finance manager who joined us in early 2017, helping to manage the rebrand from SLS Services to Next Phase. Sarah has significant experience in finance and office management, payroll and HR, and provides valuable support to the sales teams at Next Phase to ensure that everything we do as a business is in full compliance to ever-changing legislation, including IR35, AWR, GDPR and the conduct regulations.

Next Phase is a proud partner of APSCo (Association of Professional Staffing Companies) and Sarah works closely with them, attending frequent seminars and sharing ideas and knowledge with managers of other recruitment businesses, for the provision of services across the UK, Europe and US. Sarah has presented to some of our most important pharmaceutical clients to advise them of updates to IR35 legislation, demonstrating our consultative approach and our duty of care to all of our candidates and life science clients.

Sarah also performs an annual audit of Next Phase's preferred supplier list (PSL) of umbrella companies, to ensure that we only suggest names of umbrellas who operate in full compliance of FCSA regulations and who are accredited members of FCSA, APSCo or Professional Passport.

If you have any questions about recruitment legislation or how to handle the different situations that might arise in relation to your existing or new staff, you are welcome to call Sarah on +44 1403 216216 for a confidential conversion.
