Coast, Wolds and market towns: finding care work in the East Riding

The East Riding wraps around Hull on three sides and reaches from the Humber up to the seaside at Bridlington and Hornsea, across the Yorkshire Wolds and west to Goole. Care employers are spread through its market towns rather than concentrated in one place. Bridlington and Beverley have the largest clusters of their own, Goole is close behind, and Driffield, Hessle and Hornsea each have a smaller group, and some services on the edge of the city carry a Hull postal address.

Care homes are the backbone of the sector here, outnumbering home care agencies by roughly two to one. That fits the population. ONS figures from the 2021 census show the East Riding's median age climbed from 45 to 49 in ten years, nine years above the Yorkshire and the Humber average. If you do home care, expect longer drives between calls in the rural parts of the Wolds and Holderness.

East Riding of Yorkshire Council lets people take their personal budget as a direct payment, managed by themselves or a relative, and says this can suit someone who wants to choose their own care workers or personal assistants, or who already has a particular person in mind to employ. So personal recommendation matters, and a clear profile helps families feel confident about you.

For hospital roles, Hull University Teaching Hospitals NHS Trust runs Hull Royal Infirmary and Castle Hill Hospital, and is now part of NHS Humber Health Partnership with Northern Lincolnshire and Goole, whose sites include Goole Hospital. East Riding College teaches Health and Social Care at its Bridlington campus and an Adult Social Care Certificate at Level 2 in Beverley for people already working or volunteering in care.

81% of the inspected care employers in East Riding of Yorkshire are rated Good or Outstanding by the CQC, below the 84% across Yorkshire and Humberside and below England as a whole (85%).
