Who we place in Lancashire homes
Care assistants
Dementia and residential care, days and nights.
Senior carers
To lead a shift and manage medication rounds where your policy allows.
Registered nurses
For nursing homes across the county.
Mental health care staff
Experienced with distressed behaviour and mental health conditions.
Where we cover
Lancashire county, with Blackpool and Blackburn with Darwen. The Fylde coast from Fleetwood to Lytham St Annes is one of the busiest areas in the north west for older people's care. Inland it runs from Lancaster and Morecambe down through Preston and Chorley to Ormskirk, and east to Blackburn, Burnley and Pendle.
Dementia care is the core of the work, with nursing and mental health care alongside it.
Lancaster to Burnley is a long journey, so we offer shifts to people who live close to the home rather than whoever happens to be free.

How it works
- 1
Tell us where and when
The home, the unit and the shifts, and anything the person needs to know about the residents.
- 2
We book someone local
The shift goes to a checked carer or nurse who lives within easy reach, and you get their file first.
- 3
The same people next time
The more notice you give, the more likely we can send someone who has worked with you before.
- Urgent shifts
- Same day, when we have someone suitable living near the home.
- Planned cover
- One week's notice for a block booking, so the same people cover the whole run.
Our checks
Care homes in England are inspected by the Care Quality Commission, and agency staff checks are part of that.
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.
East Lancashire
In Blackburn, Burnley, Accrington and the Pennine towns, many care homes are smaller and family run, and agency use is occasional rather than constant. If that is you, you can start with a single shift when you need one.
