Recruiting in North Yorkshire

Covering rural rounds in North Yorkshire

For North Yorkshire providers, the hardest vacancies are rarely in Harrogate itself. They are the rounds out in the Dales, on the North York Moors or around the coastal villages, where a carer living in town would face long unpaid stretches of driving. The answer is usually to find people who already live in or near those communities, even if there are only one or two of them.

Coastal services face the steepest demand, with Scarborough's population among the oldest in the region. Nursing homes compete with several hospital trusts at once, from Harrogate and Scarborough to the Friarage in Northallerton, and staff for the far west of the county around Skipton may come from Airedale and the Bradford district rather than from Harrogate.

A Carer Badge search around Whitby, Malton or a Dales village can surface the handful of local carers who would otherwise never see a vacancy advertised in the nearest big town.

89% of the inspected care employers in North Yorkshire are rated Good or Outstanding by the CQC, above the 84% across Yorkshire and Humberside and above England as a whole (85%).
