Recruiting in St Helens: a borough between two cities

St Helens sits between Liverpool, Wigan and Warrington, so your local workforce overlaps with theirs. A carer in Haydock might just as easily work in Ashton-in-Makerfield, and one in Rainhill might look towards Whiston or Prescot. Newton-le-Willows and Earlestown face east towards Warrington. If you only advertise to St Helens addresses, you will miss people living a few minutes away.

The borough has one of the highest rates of unpaid care in the North West, which means plenty of people already know what caring involves, and some may move into paid work once family duties ease. The number of residents aged 25 to 34 also rose by about 17% between the last two censuses. Carer Badge helps you see who lives near the rural patches around Rainford and Billinge and is willing to drive there.

For nursing homes, Mersey and West Lancashire hospitals at St Helens and Whiston are big local employers of nurses. New starters can build skills at Knowsley Community College and St Helens College, which runs Level 2 certificates in adult social care, dementia care and end of life care.

89% of the inspected care employers in St. Helens are rated Good or Outstanding by the CQC, above the 84% across the North West and above England as a whole (85%).
