Recruiting in Hillingdon

Hillingdon recruiters: plan around the borough's size

Hillingdon's care employers cluster in Uxbridge and Hayes, but the people they support are spread over the second largest borough in London, with open countryside in the north and Heathrow in the south. A carer living in Hayes may not want daily visits in Harefield, however good the role, and someone in Northwood may not want to head south of the A40 every morning. The borough also borders Hertfordshire, Buckinghamshire and Surrey, so some of your nearest candidates may live outside London altogether.

Pressure on beds is real. The CQC notes that local care home places are sought by people paying for themselves, the NHS and other councils as well as the borough, and the share of residents aged 65 and over is projected to climb towards one in five by 2041. On Carer Badge you can look for carers who live near a particular village or estate rather than across the borough from it.

Nursing recruitment is competitive too, with Hillingdon Hospital, Mount Vernon and Harefield all employing registered nurses within a few miles of most local nursing homes.

95% of the inspected care employers in Hillingdon are rated Good or Outstanding by the CQC, above the 88% across London and above England as a whole (85%).
