Recruiting in Bristol

Recruiting care staff in Bristol, with a Clean Air Zone in the middle

In a dense city with charges for older cars in the centre, a carer's way of getting about matters as much as their experience. Some will happily cover a patch by bus or bike, others drive but avoid the centre, and some live outside the city in South Gloucestershire or North Somerset, in places such as Kingswood, Filton or Nailsea, and travel in.

That makes it worth recruiting by neighbourhood rather than by the whole city. A home care branch in Fishponds may do better with carers who live in the east of Bristol and Kingswood than with someone across the river in Bedminster. Nursing homes, meanwhile, are hiring from the same nurse pool as the newly merged Bristol NHS Foundation Trust.

On Carer Badge you can see whether someone drives and how far they will go, which helps you put together rounds that suit both the carer and your clients.
