Recruiting carers for a fast growing Telford
Telford and Wrekin grew by more than a tenth between the last two censuses, faster than both the West Midlands and England, and home care makes up most of the local care market. A growing town spread across several older settlements, linked by roads more than buses, means rounds work best with carers who drive and live within easy reach. Newport and the villages north of the Wrekin add longer distances on top.
Many good candidates will not live inside the borough boundary at all. Shifnal and Shrewsbury in Shropshire, and the western edge of the Black Country along the M54, are all within commuting range. Searching Carer Badge by distance from your postcode brings those people in, with each profile showing postcode district, travel distance, driving and availability. Nurses can also show a checked NMC registration, which helps nursing homes recruiting alongside a hospital trust that is reshaping its two main sites.
80% of the inspected care employers in Telford and Wrekin are rated Good or Outstanding by the CQC, close to the 79% across the West Midlands and below England as a whole (85%).
