Recruiting in Brighton and Hove
Hiring carers in a busy, compact seaside city
Brighton and Hove packs a lot of people into a narrow strip between the Downs and the sea, so distance is rarely the obstacle it is in rural Sussex. Competition for staff is. A young city has plenty of people who want flexible shifts, but retail, hospitality and the NHS all want them too, and a care home in Hove may be a few streets from an employer offering similar hours.
Nursing homes face extra pressure from the Royal Sussex County Hospital, a major teaching hospital in the middle of the city. Carers who live outside the boundary, in Shoreham, Lewes, Peacehaven or Burgess Hill, may be glad to commute in, especially by train along the coast, while a carer living in the city may prefer a short walk to work.
Searching Carer Badge from your own Hove or Kemptown postcode shows which local carers want regular hours rather than occasional shifts, so you can approach the people most likely to stay.
88% of the inspected care employers in Brighton and Hove are rated Good or Outstanding by the CQC, above the 84% across the South East and above England as a whole (85%).
