Specialist Healthcare Recruitment

Rotherwood Cares places specialist healthcare professionals across Lancashire and West Yorkshire, including CQC and Ofsted Registered Managers. Our 50 years of local market presence ensures access to vetted talent and a 96% permanent placement retention rate. We provide compliant temporary staff within 2 hours, safeguarding vulnerable service users and maintaining service levels for our clients.

Why Rotherwood Cares Excels in Healthcare Recruitment

Rotherwood Cares excels in healthcare recruitment because our 50 years of specialist recruitment across Lancashire and West Yorkshire provides comprehensive local expertise. With central offices on high street locations in Burnley and Keighley, we access local talent pools unavailable through job boards or generalist agencies. Our data shows we fill 97% of temporary shift bookings within 45 minutes.

We understand the strict compliance and vetting standards required for CQC and Ofsted regulated environments. Working with generalist agencies creates unnecessary risk to service users and staff. Our safer recruitment process includes Enhanced DBS checks, barred list verification, and comprehensive safeguarding suitability assessments. Every stage is documented and aligned with regulatory expectations, ensuring 100% compliance rate adherence.

Our proven track record includes a 96% permanent placement retention rate and filling 97% of temporary shift bookings within 45 minutes. We provide 24/7 on-call coverage through our dedicated team, not automated systems, ensuring immediate response when services face staffing emergencies.

Roles We Fill Across Healthcare Settings

We recruit across diverse environments including nursing and care homes, sheltered housing, community services, children's residential services, and housing support. Our specialist focus covers substance misuse services, domestic violence support, and therapeutic care settings, placing over 60 professionals into permanent roles in 2025.

Permanent Placements

Permanent Placements

Unlike some agencies we have dedicated consultants that specialise in permanent recruitment. They work with the best calibre candidates and have extensive networks enabling them to introduce candidates who are not necessarily on the open market. Their candidates in the main have been recomended to them and tend to be passive which means they are not on job boards and rarely respond to social media messages. 

Typical Roles Recruited include:

  • Nursing and Home Managers
  • Service Managers
  • Clinical Leads
  • Senior Support staff
Temporary Staffing

Temporary Staffing

Our specialist temporary team supports agency staff and services 24/7. The team are able to cover emergency shifts within 45 mins of the call out, place longer term cover with regular workers and also offer a temporary to permanent option. 

  • Every worker is fully vetted to Ofsted & CQC standards
  • Full rota management
  • 24/7 on call
  • Full compliance provided prior to placement

How We Recruit

How We Recruit

If you are recruiting on a permanent basis or need longer term interim or temporary cover, we ensure we can attract the right candidates by following the below process.

Step 1: Conduct a Deep-dive Brief. Conduct comprehensive client consultation to understand specific role requirements, service user needs, and regulatory compliance standards for your healthcare setting.

Step 2: Perform Market Mapping. Utilise our 50-year local network to identify suitable candidates, including passive talent not actively seeking roles through traditional job boards. This process identifies 32% more candidates than online-only methods.

Step 3: Implement Rigorous Vetting. Complete thorough identity verification, Right to Work checks, Enhanced DBS screening, barred list checks, and comprehensive reference verification aligned with CQC and Ofsted standards. Our vetting process reduces time-to-hire by 9 days for permanent hires.
