Recruiting in Hammersmith and Fulham

Small borough, big hospitals: hiring care staff in Hammersmith and Fulham

Hammersmith and Fulham is a compact borough with only a few dozen care employers, nearly all of them providing home care, and two large Imperial College Healthcare hospitals, Charing Cross and Hammersmith, recruiting healthcare assistants and nurses from the same area. West London NHS Trust's mental health and community teams add to the competition. With so few care homes, care staff here are mostly people who like working in the community.

Many good candidates will live in Ealing, Hounslow, Brent, Kensington and Chelsea or across the river in Wandsworth rather than inside the borough itself. Language matching is worth planning for as well: French and Spanish are each the main language of more than 4,000 residents, and Arabic of nearly 3,000. With hospitals and community trusts hiring nearby, short, reliable journeys are one of the best ways to keep the staff you have. Carer Badge lets you reach carers in Ealing or Wandsworth who are only a short bus ride from a Fulham or Shepherd's Bush round.

94% of the inspected care employers in Hammersmith and Fulham are rated Good or Outstanding by the CQC, above the 88% across London and above England as a whole (85%).
