Case Study: London Care Sector Staffing Support
Client: Medium-Sized Care Home Group in North London
The Challenge
A care home group with three facilities across Barnet and Enfield faced multiple staffing challenges simultaneously: unexpected long-term sickness of two senior carers, high seasonal demand during winter months, and difficulty recruiting permanent staff in a competitive local market. They needed immediate cover while also building a sustainable recruitment pipeline.
Our Solution
Carer Agency implemented a three-phase approach. First, we provided immediate temporary cover for the sick leave absences within 24 hours. Second, we managed their seasonal staffing needs with flexible temporary workers throughout the winter period. Third, we initiated a temp-to-perm recruitment campaign, allowing the client to assess candidates in post before making permanent offers.
The Result
Within one week, all immediate staffing gaps were filled with qualified carers. Over three months, 80% of temporary staff were offered permanent positions, dramatically reducing their recruitment costs and time-to-hire. The client reported improved staff retention and reduced management time spent on recruitment activities.
"Carer Agency helped us navigate a perfect storm of staffing challenges. Their ability to provide immediate cover while also building our permanent team was invaluable. The communication was clear throughout, and the quality of carers was consistently high."
