Recruiting in North Lincolnshire

A care home heavy market in a rural county

Most North Lincolnshire providers are care homes, and many of them sit outside Scunthorpe in market towns and villages. Staff for a home in Barton or Epworth are likely to live within a few miles, because public transport across the area is limited and the distances add up quickly. Scunthorpe providers have the largest local pool, and Brigg sits within reach of both Scunthorpe and the villages around it.

With residents aged 65 to 74 up by around a quarter and the 35 to 49 age group shrinking, recruitment pressure is likely to keep growing. Scunthorpe General Hospital competes for registered nurses and healthcare support workers, so nursing homes need to start early. North Lindsey College's apprenticeship routes, from Level 2 to Level 5, give employers a way to grow their own seniors and managers.

Searching Carer Badge for carers near Brigg, Barton or the Isle can turn up people who would never have travelled into Scunthorpe for an interview.

81% of the inspected care employers in North Lincolnshire are rated Good or Outstanding by the CQC, below the 84% across Yorkshire and Humberside and below England as a whole (85%).
