Recruiting in Nottinghamshire
Hiring across Nottinghamshire's seven districts
Nottinghamshire behaves like several labour markets at once. In the south, Rushcliffe, Gedling and Broxtowe sit right against Nottingham, so carers there can just as easily take a job in the city. Mansfield and Ashfield have the densest cluster of care employers in the county, which means providers in the same few towns are often chasing the same applicants. Newark and Sherwood and Bassetlaw are more rural, and Bassetlaw in particular looks north towards Doncaster for its acute hospital.
An older population that keeps growing, plus a high number of nursing homes, keeps demand for registered nurses and experienced seniors strong, especially around King's Mill and Newark where the hospital trust is recruiting too. For home care in the villages around Southwell or Ollerton, a reliable local driver is often worth more than anything else on an application.
Carer Badge lets you look for carers living in a particular district, so a Retford provider is not left sifting through applicants from the far side of Nottingham.
86% of the inspected care employers in Nottinghamshire are rated Good or Outstanding by the CQC, above the 82% across the East Midlands and in line with England as a whole (85%).

Questions about recruiting in Nottinghamshire
Can I find carers who live near Newark or Southwell rather than in Mansfield?
Yes. You choose how far from your service to look, and you can limit results to carers who drive their own car, which helps for rural rounds in Newark and Sherwood.
Where can new recruits in mid Nottinghamshire get qualified?
West Nottinghamshire College in Mansfield offers an online Level 2 Preparing to Work in Adult Social Care course for adults, listed as free subject to eligibility, and Health and Social Care at Levels 2 and 3.
