Care home staffing Devon
Care home staff for Devon, Plymouth and Torbay
Carers, senior carers and nurses for homes in Exeter, Plymouth, Torquay, Paignton, Newton Abbot, Barnstaple and the rural towns in between.
Who we send
Care assistants, senior carers, nurses, and carers with their own car for rural homes.
How quickly
Same day for an urgent shift when a carer who can get to you is free. One week to plan a run of shifts.
How to book
Ring us or use the form. Tell us if the home is off a bus route.
Staff we supply in Devon

Registered nurses

Drivers
Carers with their own transport for rural homes.
Where we cover
Devon, Plymouth and Torbay: Exeter and Exmouth, Torquay and Paignton, Newton Abbot, Plymouth, Barnstaple in the north, and the small towns and villages in between.
Most homes are residential, many are small, and some are a long way from the nearest town. That distance is the real reason staffing is hard here.
For homes off a bus route we only offer the shift to people with a car, and we tell you so at booking.

How it works
- 1
Tell us the shift
The home, the dates, and whether it is on a bus route. Grouped gaps are easier to fill than single nights.
- 2
We check transport
The shift goes to a checked carer who can get there reliably, and you get their file before the first shift.
- 3
Runs of shifts
Several shifts in a row with the same person suit small homes, residents and the carer.
- Urgent shifts
- Same day, when a carer who can reach the home is free.
- Planned runs
- One week to set up a run of shifts with the same people.
Compliance before arrival
Care homes in England are inspected by the Care Quality Commission. Every file comes to you before the first shift.
Enhanced DBS with the adults' barred list check, seen before anyone is booked.
Right to work checked against original documents or the Home Office online service.
References two, one from the most recent care employer.
Training moving and handling, safeguarding, infection prevention and basic life support, with certificates in the file you receive.
Nurses live NMC registration checked on the register before each placement.
Torbay and the South Hams
Torbay's homes compete with hotels and hospitality for staff, and that is sharpest in the summer. Further west, homes in the South Hams and on the edge of Dartmoor depend on a few people who can drive in. Planning ahead with us for the summer months and for winter weather makes a real difference.
