Recruiting in Kirklees
Finding staff for Kirklees services, north and south
Kirklees behaves less like one labour market than two. Staff in Dewsbury, Batley and the Spen Valley look north towards Leeds and Wakefield, while Huddersfield carers often live in the town itself or in the valleys around it. A Holmfirth home care round is hard to fill from Dewsbury, and a Batley nursing home may find its best candidates just over the line in Leeds.
Demand keeps rising, with residents aged 65 to 74 up by roughly a fifth between the last two censuses. Nurses are the tightest group. Your nursing home competes with Huddersfield Royal Infirmary and Dewsbury and District Hospital, which are run by different trusts and recruit separately.
Kirklees College trains Health and Social Care learners in Huddersfield, so newly qualified carers often start out in the south of the borough. On Carer Badge, a Dewsbury manager can look for nearby carers living in Ossett or Morley as easily as in North Kirklees itself.
77% of the inspected care employers in Kirklees are rated Good or Outstanding by the CQC, below the 84% across Yorkshire and Humberside and below England as a whole (85%).

Questions about recruiting in Kirklees
Can I recruit carers living in Leeds or Wakefield for a North Kirklees service?
Yes. Search is not limited to the Kirklees boundary, so carers in places like Morley or Ossett who are happy to travel can appear for a service in Batley or Dewsbury.
Why are services in the Holme and Colne valleys harder to staff?
Fewer carers live up the valleys, and the hill roads make journeys from central Huddersfield slower than the distance suggests. Carers who already live locally and drive are usually the ones who stay.
