Recruiting in Torbay

Staffing care homes in Torquay, Paignton and Brixham

Torbay's older population means steady demand for residential and nursing care, and the care homes are concentrated in Torquay and Paignton. Torbay is small, about 63 square kilometres of land around the bay, so many staff can live within a short trip of work. The catch is that you share that local workforce with Torbay Hospital and with the trust's own community and social care teams, all drawing on the same three towns. Torbay's population also grew more slowly than England's between the last two censuses while getting older, so the pool of working age staff is not expanding quickly.

That makes it worth searching close to home first. Looking outward from your own postcode, you can see where each carer is based by district, how many miles they will cover, whether they drive and when they are free. Carers in Newton Abbot or Totnes, outside Torbay but nearby, appear too if they are within your chosen range. Nursing homes can narrow the list to registered nurses whose NMC details we have confirmed.

83% of the inspected care employers in Torbay are rated Good or Outstanding by the CQC, below the 90% across the South West and in line with England as a whole (85%).
