Recruiting in Southwark
Home care recruitment in Southwark: north and south are different jobs
Southwark's care market is built on home care, and the borough's shape shapes recruitment. A carer living near Elephant and Castle can cross the north of the borough quickly by Tube or bus, but the same person may find Dulwich or East Dulwich slow going. Carers in Lewisham or Lambeth are often closer to your southern rounds than anyone in Bermondsey.
On Carer Badge you search by distance from your postcode, not by borough, and every profile shows the carer's postcode district, how far they are prepared to travel and whether they drive. Setting your radius around a cluster of clients rather than the office can surface carers who live within a bus ride of the people they would support.
With Guy's, King's and the Maudsley all recruiting healthcare assistants and nurses, social care employers here compete hard for staff. Nursing providers can move quickly, since we confirm registered nurses' NMC status ourselves.
70% of the inspected care employers in Southwark are rated Good or Outstanding by the CQC, below the 88% across London and below England as a whole (85%).

Questions about recruiting in Southwark
Should I search from my office or from where my clients are?
From wherever the work is. You can search by distance from a postcode, so using a postcode in the middle of a cluster of Peckham or Dulwich clients will show carers who live nearest to those visits.
Will carers living in Lewisham or Lambeth appear in my Southwark search?
Yes. Searches are by distance, not council boundary, so carers just across the border in Lewisham or Lambeth appear if they are within your radius and willing to travel.
