Recruiting the right people for your health or social care service isn’t just about filling vacancies—it’s about ensuring your team is compliant, compassionate, and ready to deliver outstanding care. For many providers, the process of hiring and onboarding staff can be time-consuming, resource-draining, and inconsistent. That’s where a specialist recruiter like Cura Workforce Solutions comes in.

We don’t just find people—we deliver a full recruitment and onboarding solution that saves you time, improves quality, and keeps you compliant.

The Challenges of In-House Recruitment in Care

Recruiting within the health and social care sector comes with specific pressures:

Urgent vacancies and high turnover
Strict compliance and safeguarding regulations
Limited internal HR or admin capacity
Time-consuming onboarding and documentation

Most care providers are juggling recruitment with delivering front-line services. The result? Delays, missed opportunities, or staff joining without the proper checks in place.

2. Expert Shortlisting & Pre-Screening

Our recruitment team understands care. We filter candidates based on your exact requirements—location, experience, shift availability, and cultural fit—before they even reach your inbox.

3. Compliance & Right-to-Work Checks

Enhanced DBS
