Recruiting in Milton Keynes

Recruiting home carers in a city built around the car

With home care making up the great majority of Milton Keynes' care employers, most providers are competing for the same thing: reliable carers who can get between calls across a spread out city. A carer who drives can cover a lot of ground on the grid roads; one who relies on buses or MK Connect may only suit rounds close to where they live, and not every shift pattern fits a service that stops at 8pm and does not run on Sundays.

The city's edges matter too. Services near Newport Pagnell or Olney can draw on carers living in neighbouring Bedfordshire and Northamptonshire villages, and Carer Badge shows them alongside Milton Keynes residents, with who drives and who does not plain to see.

Nursing homes are a small part of the local market, but they compete with Milton Keynes University Hospital for the same nurses, so a nurse who lives a few grid squares away from your home is worth a great deal. Expect to recruit for growth as well as turnover, since new estates keep adding to the number of people who need support.

91% of the inspected care employers in Milton Keynes are rated Good or Outstanding by the CQC, above the 84% across the South East and above England as a whole (85%).
