Recruiting in Barnet

Staffing homes and home care across Barnet's suburbs

Barnet is large by London standards, fourth biggest by area, and its suburbs run from Golders Green up to the Hertfordshire border. Public transport runs mostly north to south along the Northern line branches, so a carer who lives in Finchley may find a shift in Edgware awkward without a car, and someone just over the border in Hertfordshire or Harrow may be closer than a Barnet resident at the other end of the borough. With Barnet Hospital and other NHS services recruiting nearby, experienced care staff have choices.

Nursing recruitment matters here, with a growing number of older residents and a good number of nursing homes. Middlesex University trains nurses at its Hendon campus and has worked to bring more student nurse placements into adult social care, which gives homes a chance to meet future staff early. Faith and culture count too: in a borough where 14.5% of residents are Jewish, staff who understand kosher kitchens and Shabbat routines settle in quickly at homes serving that community. On Carer Badge you can look for that kind of knowledge among carers living around your own home's postcode.

89% of the inspected care employers in Barnet are rated Good or Outstanding by the CQC, close to the 88% across London and above England as a whole (85%).
