Find carers and nurses in West Sussex

Recruiting in West Sussex

Recruiting on the coastal strip and in the Crawley area

Coastal employers recruit where demand is highest and the population is oldest: Arun's median age of 49 is well above the England figure of 40. A Worthing care home may well find staff in Lancing, Shoreham or Littlehampton, since the coastal towns run into each other and are linked by the coast road and railway.

The north of the county is different. Crawley is younger and growing fast, so there are more working age people, but they also have plenty of other work to choose from close to home. Employers in Horsham, Haywards Heath and Burgess Hill sit between Crawley and Brighton, and can draw on both if travel works. Nursing homes everywhere compete with University Hospitals Sussex for registered nurses.

Carer Badge lets a Bognor or Chichester home see who lives along that stretch of coast and is looking for regular hours, rather than relying on candidates from across the whole county.

86% of the inspected care employers in West Sussex are rated Good or Outstanding by the CQC, close to the 84% across the South East and in line with England as a whole (85%).
