I'm based in Oxford, and I know how hard it is for local care homes to find and keep staff. Housing here is among the most expensive in the UK outside London, so many carers commute in from surrounding towns, and homes compete with the hospitals, the universities and retail for the same people.
Because we're local, I'm happy to come and meet you at your home, understand how your team works and what kind of person fits it. That means the candidates we introduce aren't just qualified on paper, they're right for your residents and your rota.
Oxford also has a large graduate population from the University of Oxford and Oxford Brookes. Many graduates in health, psychology and social sciences want real experience in care, and they bring the reliability, communication skills and commitment that care homes need.
