Recruiting in Lambeth

Hiring carers in Lambeth: a mixed market with a growing older population

Unlike some inner London boroughs, Lambeth has a real mix of employers: plenty of home care agencies, but also a solid group of care homes and some nursing homes, all drawing on the same local workforce. The 2021 census found a higher share of Lambeth residents in work than across London as a whole, so the people you want to recruit often have other options.

Geography helps. Carers in Brixton or Stockwell can reach most of the borough quickly, and the south of Lambeth borders Croydon, Merton, Wandsworth and Southwark. Carer Badge searches by distance from your postcode, so a carer in Tooting or Thornton Heath is just as visible to a Streatham care home as someone living in Lambeth itself. When a client needs a Portuguese or Spanish speaker, look at the languages listed on each profile, shown next to the carer's postcode district, travel range and whether they drive.

With St Thomas' and King's recruiting from the same pool, nursing homes benefit from knowing which nurses we have verified with the NMC.

87% of the inspected care employers in Lambeth are rated Good or Outstanding by the CQC, close to the 88% across London and in line with England as a whole (85%).
