Recruiting in Waltham Forest
What recruiting looks like for Waltham Forest care services
Waltham Forest is among the most densely populated local authority areas in England, so most services have plenty of people living close by. The challenge is the borough's length. A care home in Chingford draws staff from different streets to a home care office in Leyton, and neighbouring Enfield, Redbridge, Hackney and Newham may be closer to your door than the other end of the borough.
Searching Carer Badge by distance from your own postcode reflects that. Because profiles list postcode district, travel range, availability and driving, a Chingford home can look for people within a few miles rather than across the whole council area, and a Leyton home care office can favour carers who are happy to cover rounds on foot or by bus.
Whipps Cross Hospital recruits nurses in the same borough, so nursing homes gain a little time from our own checks on each nurse's NMC registration before anyone gets in touch.
91% of the inspected care employers in Waltham Forest are rated Good or Outstanding by the CQC, above the 88% across London and above England as a whole (85%).

Questions about recruiting in Waltham Forest
Will carers in Enfield or Woodford appear in a Chingford search?
Yes. Search is by distance, not borough boundary, so carers just over the border in Enfield or Redbridge show up if they are within your chosen distance and willing to travel.
Is there local training I can point new carers to?
Waltham Forest College in Walthamstow runs a part time Level 2 Health and Social Care course for adults and a Level 3 Diploma in Adult Care for staff already working in care.
