Where we cover
Leeds, Bradford, Kirklees, Calderdale and Wakefield, from Keighley in the Aire valley down to Huddersfield, Dewsbury and Pontefract.
Dementia care is the core of the work here. Most of what we are asked for is residential dementia units, nursing homes with a dementia floor, and the nights that go with them. Wakefield's homes are mostly residential, so requests there are usually for carers rather than nurses.
The hill towns around Halifax and the Colne and Holme valleys are hard to reach without a car early in the morning. If we only have drivers free for a shift, we say so at booking.

How it works
- 1
Tell us the unit
Dementia, nursing or general residential. It decides who we offer the shift to.
- 2
We match by journey
Bradford to Wakefield is not a short hop at six in the morning, so the shift goes to someone who can get to you reliably.
- 3
You see the file first
DBS, training and references reach you before the shift starts, and the carer arrives briefed on the unit.
- Urgent shifts
- Same day, when a carer or nurse with the right experience is free near the home.
- Block bookings
- One week's notice and we will book the same people for the whole run.
Inspection ready
Care homes in England answer to the Care Quality Commission. Our files cover what an inspector will ask about agency staff.
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.
Nights on a dementia unit
Night shifts on a dementia unit are where an agency carer who does not know the job shows most. Residents wake, walk and need reassurance, and checks still have to be done on time. We send night carers who have done this before, and we ask you at booking about anyone on the unit who needs closer support.
