Recruiting in Herefordshire
Covering rural rounds and nursing shifts in Herefordshire
The hardest part of recruiting in Herefordshire is rarely the job itself. It is the distance between where carers live, mostly in and around Hereford and the market towns, and where older people live, which is often deep in the countryside. With a quarter of the population aged 65 or over and a working age population that has been shrinking in its middle years, there are fewer local people to recruit from than the demand would suggest.
Carer Badge lets you search from your own postcode and see carers' postcode districts, how far each will travel and whether they drive with their own car. For a round around Kington or Bromyard, that means finding someone who already lives nearby rather than hoping a Hereford based carer will cover the miles every day.
Nursing homes make up a notable share of the county's services, and Wye Valley NHS Trust is recruiting nurses too. To see quickly who could cover nights, look for nurses whose NMC status we have confirmed.
87% of the inspected care employers in Herefordshire are rated Good or Outstanding by the CQC, above the 79% across the West Midlands and in line with England as a whole (85%).
