Care home staffing / England and Wales
Care home staff when your rota has a gap
Care assistants, senior carers, support workers and registered nurses for residential and nursing homes in England and Wales, for one shift or a run of weeks.
Who we send
Care assistants, senior carers, RGNs and RMNs, support workers and waking night staff.
How quickly
Same day for an urgent shift when someone suitable is free near the home. One week for block bookings or a new unit.
How to book
Ring us or use the form with the home, the shift and the unit.
Staff we supply to care homes
Care assistants
Personal care, mealtimes, activities and the rest of a day or night shift.
Senior carers
To lead a shift, hand over properly and give medication where your policy allows.
Registered nurses
RGNs and RMNs for nursing homes, including nights and weekends.
Support workers
For learning disability, autism and mental health homes.
Where we work
If you manage a care home you already know the hard shifts: Friday nights, bank holidays, the week two of your seniors are on leave at once. That is what we are for.
We work with residential homes, nursing homes, dementia units and homes for younger adults with learning disabilities or mental health needs, across England and Wales. Each area below has its own page with the towns we cover and how cover is arranged there.

Familiar faces
For blocks of shifts we keep the same people on your rota so residents see faces they know.
- Urgent shifts
- Same day, when someone suitable is free and close enough to the home.
- Block bookings and new units
- One week to book, check and brief the people who will cover your rota.
Checks that stand up at inspection
Every care worker we place has been through these checks. Nurses are also checked on the NMC register before each placement.
Enhanced DBS with the adults' barred list check.
Right to work seen and verified before anyone is booked.
References including the most recent care employer.
Mandatory training moving and handling, safeguarding, infection prevention and basic life support, with certificates on file.
The right regulator for each nation
Care homes in England and Wales answer to different regulators, and care workers come under different registration rules. We check against the rules where your home is.
| Nation | Care homes inspected by | Care workers |
|---|---|---|
| England | Care Quality Commission (CQC) | No compulsory register for care workers. Nurses on the NMC register. |
| Wales | Care Inspectorate Wales (CIW) | Care workers in adult care homes register with Social Care Wales within six months of starting. |
