Recruiting in Sheffield

Staffing home care rounds across Sheffield

With home care making up more than half of the city's services, much of Sheffield's recruitment is about rounds. The hills mean travel time between calls is often longer than the map suggests, so carers who live inside the patch you cover, or who drive, tend to make rotas work. Outer areas such as Stocksbridge, Mosborough and the western villages are hardest to cover from the city centre.

Sheffield has a large student population and a lot of PA work funded through direct payments, so many carers already juggle several part time commitments. Nursing homes compete with Sheffield Teaching Hospitals, one of the biggest NHS employers in the region, for registered nurses. For eastern and northern services, staff living in Rotherham can be closer than those in the south west of the city.

On Carer Badge, a Sheffield provider can see whether a carer drives before inviting them to a round in the hills.

90% of the inspected care employers in Sheffield are rated Good or Outstanding by the CQC, above the 84% across Yorkshire and Humberside and above England as a whole (85%).
