Peterborough employers: recruiting for a home care heavy city

With home care agencies making up most of Peterborough's care employers, competition for carers who can cover rounds is the defining feature of the local market. Rounds in the central wards look very different from calls out to villages on the city's edge, so knowing where a carer lives and whether they drive matters from the first conversation. A city whose older population grew by almost a quarter in ten years will keep that pressure on.

Private employers are in the mix too. People using direct payments can find personal assistants on the city's PA Register, run by Peterborough Council for Voluntary Services, which offers trained and DBS checked PAs to anyone recruiting in the city.

The city sits close to the borders of Cambridgeshire, Lincolnshire and Northamptonshire, and Carer Badge lets you reach carers in places such as Whittlesey, Stamford or Oundle who might never see a city centre advert. Nursing homes recruit alongside Peterborough City Hospital, which draws on the same nurses.

91% of the inspected care employers in Peterborough are rated Good or Outstanding by the CQC, above the 82% across the East and above England as a whole (85%).
