Recruiting in Havering

An older, more spread out borough: staffing care in Havering

Few London boroughs have as large a share of older residents as Havering, and few are as spread out. Romford is where most care employers are based, but the people they support live right across the borough, from Harold Hill in the north east down to Rainham and South Hornchurch. A carer living in Rainham is unlikely to relish twice daily trips to Harold Hill, so matching people to the patch they live in matters more here than in denser parts of London.

Havering also borders Essex as well as Barking and Dagenham and Redbridge, which means your nearest strong candidate may not live in the borough at all. Carer Badge lets you find carers in places like Brentwood or Dagenham who are already close enough to cover a Romford round. The council's own accreditation scheme for personal assistants is a sign of how much one to one work there is locally, and some carers will be weighing that against agency or care home roles.

Nursing homes compete with Queen's Hospital on Rom Valley Way for registered nurses, so it is worth moving quickly when a local nurse is looking.

92% of the inspected care employers in Havering are rated Good or Outstanding by the CQC, above the 88% across London and above England as a whole (85%).
