Most care homes don't have a recruitment problem so much as a turnover problem. Skills for Care reported turnover of 24.7% across the independent adult social care sector in 2024/25, and every early leaver means more advertising, more interviews and more agency shifts.
That's why we screen for the things that predict whether someone stays: why they want to work in care, how they'll get to your home, and whether your shift pattern genuinely fits their life. Many of our candidates are graduates in health and social care, psychology or related subjects who want a real career in care, and who bring strong communication and reliability from day one.
