Recruiting in Oxfordshire

Recruiting carers when the city and the county pull in different directions

Oxfordshire employers often face a mismatch: a young population in Oxford and an older one in the towns and villages where care is needed. A carer living in Cowley may not want to drive to Chipping Norton every morning, and rural rounds around Wantage or Henley can be hard to staff without drivers. Recruiting people who already live in or near the towns you serve, Banbury, Witney, Bicester or Abingdon, is usually the steadier option.

Carer Badge lets you start from where your clients are, so finding someone in Didcot for a Didcot round is a quick search rather than a hope that a city based carer will commute out.

With nursing homes forming such a large part of the market, and Oxford University Hospitals recruiting across four hospitals, nurses are in demand. Being able to see which nurses already live near your home, rather than within commuting range of the John Radcliffe, makes a real difference to rota planning in places like Thame or Faringdon.

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