Health & Social Care Recruitment Agency

A health and social care recruitment agency finds, screens, and shortlists care professionals on your behalf.

Instead of spending weeks advertising roles, filtering through applications, and trying to assess whether someone has the right experience and values, you brief us on the role and we do the heavy lifting.

We interview every candidate before you see them, so you only meet people who are genuinely qualified and right for the job - both professionally and personally.

At Coburg Banks, we've been recruiting for health and social care roles since 2002 - from Care Coordinators and Field Care Supervisors through to Registered Managers, Operations Directors, and Heads of Care.

Care recruitment is notoriously difficult. Staff shortages across the sector mean vacancies often stay open for weeks or even months, particularly for management and leadership roles.

Through Coburg Banks, our average time to hire is 29 days.

We typically have a shortlist of vetted, interviewed candidates with you within a few days of receiving your brief, because we have immediate access to thousands of active and passive care professionals across the UK.

You can - and many providers do. But care recruitment has some particular challenges. Turnover across the sector is high, which means job boards are flooded with ads competing for the same candidates. And the best care managers and leaders are usually already in a role, not browsing job sites.

We spend every day building relationships with care professionals across the UK. We know where to find the people who'd move for the right opportunity but won't respond to a job ad.

We've been doing this since 2002, working with providers including Bupa, Leonard Cheshire, Scope, and Bluebird Care. We'll get you a shortlist of vetted candidates within days, and you won't pay a penny unless you hire someone.

We'll get back to you within 20 minutes to have a quick chat about your role.

We'll ask about the experience and qualifications you need, the type of service you run, the people you support, and the kind of person who'd thrive in your team.

Then we get to work.

You'll typically have a shortlist of vetted, interviewed candidates within a few days.No pressure, no hard sell - if you don't like what we send, there's no obligation to go further.

We recruit across a wide range of health and social care roles, including Registered Managers, Care Managers, Operations Managers, Operations Directors, Heads of Care, Care Coordinators, Field Care Supervisors, and senior leadership positions.

We work with residential care providers, domiciliary care companies, supported living services, children's services, and specialist care organisations.

If your role is particularly specialist, give us a call on 0121 362 2300 and we'll confirm we can help.

We thoroughly vet every candidate before presenting them to you. That includes verifying relevant qualifications, checking registration status, and discussing DBS requirements.

We understand the regulatory landscape in health and social care, so we know what to look for and what questions to ask.

You won't receive any candidate who hasn't been properly screened.

It depends on role. Our fees typically range between 15% and 23% of someone's basic salary, depending on seniority and complexity.

We'll give you a clear figure upfront before we start - no surprises, and we won't charge you any more than that amount, even if you have to offer a higher salary to secure your ideal hire.

And remember, you don't pay anything unless we find someone you actually hire.

Not until your new hire starts work. There's nothing to pay upfront, nothing on shortlist, nothing on interview.

Our fee only becomes due once the successful candidate is sat at their desk working for you.

Yes. We operate a replacement and rebate scheme on every placement.

If you have to dismiss a candidate within the first three months, we'll either find you a replacement or refund a proportion of the fee.

It's there to give you complete peace of mind. Give us a call and we'll walk you through exactly how it works.

No problem - there's zero obligation. Sometimes we don't get it exactly right first time, and that's fine.

Just tell us what's missing or what didn't fit, and we'll go back and refine the search.

We'd rather get it right than get it fast.
