Middlesbrough employers: your next carer may live in Thornaby or Eston

Middlesbrough is the most tightly drawn of the Tees boroughs, and its edges run straight into Stockton-on-Tees across the river and into Redcar and Cleveland to the east. Someone who could reach your service in ten minutes may well live in Thornaby, Eston or Normanby, outside the borough line altogether.

The town also has more care homes than home care agencies, so residential and nursing employers are often after the same local carers at the same time, usually for early, late and weekend cover. The working age population is younger than in neighbouring Redcar and Cleveland, but the CQC's assessment ranks Middlesbrough the 14th most deprived area in England, so it is worth thinking early about how a new starter will get to a 7am shift.

Nursing cover is the harder ask. The James Cook University Hospital and the wider University Hospitals Tees group, with around 16,000 staff, are the main employer of registered nurses in the area, and nursing homes compete with them for the same people. Because Carer Badge looks outward from your service rather than stopping at the borough boundary, a nurse living in Thornaby or Guisborough turns up as readily as one in Linthorpe.

93% of the inspected care employers in Middlesbrough are rated Good or Outstanding by the CQC, close to the 93% across the North East and above England as a whole (85%).
