Recruiting in Wandsworth
What Wandsworth home care services should know about the local workforce
Wandsworth's care employers lean heavily towards home care, and the borough is unusual in how few households own a car. That shapes recruitment: the carers most likely to stay are those who live within a bus ride of your clients, not across London. Profiles on Carer Badge show each carer's postcode district, how far they are willing to travel and whether they drive, so you can build rounds around people who are genuinely nearby.
The population is also strikingly mixed. After English, the most common main languages are Spanish, Italian, Urdu, Portuguese and Polish, and carers can list the languages they speak so you can filter for them when a client prefers their first language.
Nursing homes here recruit in the shadow of St George's Hospital in Tooting and its sister site at Queen Mary's in Roehampton. When several employers are chasing the same nurses, a profile showing that we have checked the nurse's PIN against the NMC register gives you a head start.
96% of the inspected care employers in Wandsworth are rated Good or Outstanding by the CQC, above the 88% across London and above England as a whole (85%).

Questions about recruiting in Wandsworth
Is it realistic to recruit non drivers for home care in Wandsworth?
Often it is. Nearly half of households here have no car, and many rounds can be covered on foot or by bus. Filter by distance from your office postcode and look at each carer's travel limit to find people who live close to the clients you support.
Can I find a Spanish or Portuguese speaking carer in Wandsworth?
Yes, if they have added the language to their profile. Spanish and Portuguese are among the most common main languages in the borough after English, and you can filter your search by language.
