Recruiting in Cornwall

Finding carers who live near your rounds in Cornwall

Recruiting in Cornwall is mostly a question of geography. Care employers gather in Truro, St Austell and Redruth, but the people they support are spread across coastal and inland villages, so where a carer lives often matters as much as anything on their CV. Older people also make up a growing share of the county: the number aged 65 and over rose by about a quarter between the last two censuses. A carer based in Liskeard is unlikely to want daily rounds near Penzance, however good the role.

Search outward from your service and each Carer Badge profile tells you the carer's postcode district, how far they are willing to go and whether they have their own car. That lets you look for people already living near a round rather than hoping someone will commute from the other end of the county. Nursing homes needing nights covered in a smaller town such as Launceston or Liskeard can see which nurses we have already verified on the NMC register.

84% of the inspected care employers in Cornwall are rated Good or Outstanding by the CQC, below the 90% across the South West and in line with England as a whole (85%).
