Case Study: city Sector Staffing Support
Challenge: Rapid Staff-Up for a New Dementia Care Unit
A reputable care home group in city was opening a new 30-bed specialist dementia unit. With an opening date fixed by the regulator, they needed to recruit and induct a full team of 25 care staff – from senior carers to support workers – within a tight 8-week window.
Internal recruitment was struggling to meet the volume and pace. They needed a partner who could manage bulk recruitment, ensure full compliance (including dementia-specific training), and provide some temporary cover while permanent hires were finalized.
Carer Agency Solution
We deployed a dedicated recruitment campaign team. We advertised across local channels, screened over 150 applicants, and conducted first-stage interviews. We presented a shortlist of 40 pre-vetted candidates within 3 weeks.
We coordinated with the client's training manager to ensure our compliance checks aligned with their induction requirements. We also supplied 10 temporary support workers for the first month of operation to ensure safe staffing from day one.
Result
- 22 Permanent Hires placed within 6 weeks, filling 88% of required roles.
- Zero Compliance Delays: All documentation was audit-ready for the CQC pre-opening inspection.
- Seamless Opening: Temporary staff provided stability, allowing permanent hires to settle in.
- 5 temporary workers were offered and accepted permanent positions.
"Carer Agency didn't just fill vacancies; they understood the pressure we were under and became an extension of our team. Their local knowledge of the candidate market and rigorous vetting took a huge weight off our shoulders."
