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.
Permanent Placements
Unlike some agencies, we have dedicated consultants who specialise in permanent recruitment. They work with high calibre candidates and leverage extensive networks to introduce talent that is not actively available on the open market. In the main, candidates are referred to them through trusted networks and tend to be passive job seekers, meaning they are not actively advertising their availability on job boards and rarely respond to recruitment approaches via social media.

- Nursing and Home Managers
- Service Managers
- Clinical Leads
- Senior Support Staff
