Recruiting in Nottingham

Finding care staff in a dense, young and fast-changing Nottingham

Nottingham's tight boundary shapes recruitment. Suburbs that feel like part of the city, such as West Bridgford, Beeston, Arnold and Carlton, are actually in Nottinghamshire, so plenty of experienced carers who could cover your rounds live outside the city council area. Inside it, the population is young and transient, with a large student body, which brings energetic part-time applicants but also turnover each summer.

The city is also one of the most deprived local authority areas in England and highly diverse, with nearly one household in eleven where no one speaks English as their main language. Matching carers who share a client's language can make a care package run far more smoothly. Nursing homes compete with Nottingham University Hospitals, one of the region's largest employers of nurses and healthcare assistants. The city council says direct payments are mostly used to employ personal assistants, so private PA roles draw on the same people as agencies and care homes.

With Carer Badge you can reach carers living in West Bridgford or Beeston just as easily as those in the city centre, and filter by the languages they speak.

80% of the inspected care employers in Nottingham are rated Good or Outstanding by the CQC, close to the 82% across the East Midlands and below England as a whole (85%).
