Recruiting in Kingston upon Thames

Recruiting in Kingston when your best candidate may live in Surrey

Kingston is compact, with around 168,000 residents, and its southern and western edges run straight into Surrey. A carer living just over the line in Esher or Epsom may be closer to your Chessington or Surbiton service than someone at the far end of the borough, so recruiting only from Kingston addresses leaves people out. Searching by distance from your own postcode, with each carer's postcode district and travel limit on their profile, gets round that.

The population is getting older: the median age rose from 35 to 38 between the last two censuses and the number of people aged 50 to 64 grew by 18%, which points to rising demand over the next decade. At the same time, Tamil and Korean are widely spoken, so a carer who shares a client's first language can be worth looking for, and profiles show the languages each carer speaks.

Nursing homes recruit against Kingston Hospital and the wider Kingston and Richmond NHS Foundation Trust. When you need nights covered, the early checks are shorter because we have already confirmed a nurse's NMC registration.
