Care Homes & Care Settings
Recruitment and staffing for care homes, residential and specialist care settings, from carers and senior staff to management and support teams.
Overview
Care settings ask a great deal of their people: patience, physical stamina, clinical awareness and genuine kindness, sustained across long shifts. Recruiting well is the single clearest predictor of the quality of care a home provides.
We recruit for residential and nursing homes, retirement and specialist care settings, covering hands-on care, clinical and management appointments, and the housekeeping, catering and administrative staff who keep a home comfortable and compliant.

Working Arrangements
Care roles usually follow shift patterns, commonly long days of around twelve hours, with night shifts and weekend rotations.
Full-time, part-time, bank and temporary arrangements are all common, and management positions are more typically weekday-based with on-call responsibility.
Permanent, fixed-term and short-notice cover can all be arranged according to the needs of the setting.
