Recruiting in Shropshire

Shropshire recruitment: Shrewsbury has the people, the market towns have the need

Employers outside Shrewsbury know the problem well. The county town has the biggest concentration of services and much of the workforce, while towns such as Ludlow, Bridgnorth and Market Drayton are a long drive away, and the villages around them further still. With the population ageing and the mid career age group shrinking, local candidates in the smaller towns are scarce.

Carer Badge lets you search outward from your own postcode, so a Ludlow care home or a Whitchurch home care round sees the carers who actually live nearby, along with how far each will travel and whether they drive. Searching by distance also brings in carers living in Telford and Wrekin, which is a separate council area but within easy reach of Shrewsbury and the east of the county.

Nursing homes are a significant part of the Shropshire market. Because we verify nurses' NMC registration, you can fill shifts yourself rather than waiting on agencies.

83% of the inspected care employers in Shropshire are rated Good or Outstanding by the CQC, above the 79% across the West Midlands and in line with England as a whole (85%).

Questions about recruiting in Shropshire

Will carers from Telford show up if I search from Shrewsbury?

Yes. The search runs by distance from your postcode rather than council boundary, so carers in Telford and Wrekin appear when they are within your chosen distance and happy to travel that far.

Can I find carers who drive for rural rounds around Ludlow or Bridgnorth?

Yes. Filter to carers who drive with their own car, set a distance from your postcode, and check each profile for how far that carer is willing to travel.
