Recruiting in North Tyneside

Recruiting in North Tyneside, where the borough line barely exists

On the ground, North Tyneside and Newcastle are one continuous built-up area, so care workers move between the two all the time. A home care service in Wallsend competes with Newcastle employers a mile away, while a care home in Whitley Bay or Tynemouth tends to draw on people who live along the coast and the Metro line.

Demand is climbing. People aged 65 to 74 increased by around a third between the last two censuses, and the CQC's assessment highlights that 35% of older people in the borough's most deprived areas are living in poverty. Home care already makes up the largest share of local employers, and that is where rota gaps tend to show first.

With North Shields, Whitley Bay and Wallsend so close together, the best candidates may be one Metro stop from your office, and a Carer Badge search shows you who they are before you spend money on adverts.

85% of the inspected care employers in North Tyneside are rated Good or Outstanding by the CQC, below the 93% across the North East and in line with England as a whole (85%).
