Recruiting carers in Stockport: older clients, a local pipeline
Stockport's older population is growing, and a good share of it lives in the south and east of the borough, in Bramhall, Cheadle Hulme, Marple and Romiley. Your carers may well come from Reddish, Brinnington, Edgeley or over the boundary in Tameside and Manchester, so travel time to a south Stockport round is a real factor in who stays.
Unusually, there is a local pipeline built for you. The One Stockport Health and Social Care Career Academy runs short cohorts with guaranteed interviews, and eight local organisations took part in recruiting from its first group. It is worth getting involved if you want new starters who already have some training. Carer Badge helps you see which applicants actually live within reach of Bramhall or Marple before you offer a round.
Nursing homes compete for nurses with Stepping Hill Hospital in Hazel Grove, which sits right in the middle of the borough, so a home that offers predictable shifts close to where nurses live has an edge.
78% of the inspected care employers in Stockport are rated Good or Outstanding by the CQC, below the 84% across the North West and below England as a whole (85%).
