Recruiting social care talent in Cardiff has changed. Posting an advert and hoping rarely works when good Registered Managers and qualified staff are in short supply and quickly snapped up.
At Coburg Banks, we've spent over two decades recruiting across Cardiff's residential, nursing and domiciliary care sector, regulated by Care Inspectorate Wales. We know where the strong performers are, and how to get them interested in your service.
From CIW-registered care homes and domiciliary services across Cardiff and South Wales, where staff register with Social Care Wales, we understand the local market. We understand what different care providers need from a hire, and what tends to go wrong.
The best care managers and qualified professionals in Cardiff aren't scrolling job boards. They're already doing good work somewhere else. We reach them through our network and proactive outreach, so you see people you wouldn't find on your own.
Our average time to hire is 29 days. We move fast because an unfilled role puts pressure on your team and your regulatory compliance, but we never send someone who isn’t right just to fill a gap.
Every placement comes with a three-month replacement and rebate guarantee. If it doesn’t work out, we sort it.
If you’re hiring care managers or qualified staff in Cardiff, let’s have a conversation.
Yes, we’ve been recruiting social care professionals in Cardiff since 2002. We cover care roles at every level, from Care Coordinators and Team Leaders through to Registered Managers, Nursing Home Managers and Operations Directors. We use Teams, Zoom and face-to-face meetings to vet every candidate before presenting them, so you only meet people who are right for the role.
We cover every level of seniority across social care. That includes Registered Managers, Deputy Managers, Area and Regional Managers, Operations Managers and Directors, Domiciliary Care Managers, Nursing Home and Care Home Managers, Children's Home Managers, Registered Service Managers, Care Coordinators, Registered Nurses, Clinical Leads, and Quality and Compliance Managers. Across residential, nursing, domiciliary, children's and supported-living services, we recruit for it.
Our average time to hire across social care roles is 29 days. We typically have a shortlist of vetted, interviewed candidates with you within a few days of receiving your brief. We can move quickly because we have immediate access to thousands of active and passive care professionals, so we’re not starting from scratch every time.
Our fees typically range between 15% and 25% of the candidate’s basic salary, depending on seniority and complexity. We give you a clear figure upfront, and we cap our fees, so if you have to offer a higher salary to secure your ideal hire, our fee stays the same. You don’t pay anything unless we find someone you actually hire.
We’ll get back to you within 20 minutes to have a quick chat about your role. We’ll ask about the skills, experience and values you need, the kind of person who would thrive in your service and give your people and residents the care they deserve. Then we get to work, and you’ll typically have a shortlist within a few days. No pressure, no hard sell.
You can recruit directly, and many providers do. But the best care managers and qualified staff in Cardiff are rarely actively looking. They’re already doing good work somewhere else and won’t respond to a job advert. We reach these passive candidates through years of relationship-building and proactive outreach, giving you access to people you would never find on your own, while your service isn’t left short or over-reliant on agency cover.
Yes. We operate a replacement and rebate scheme on every placement we make. 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 gives you complete peace of mind, and it means we’re as invested in getting it right as you are.
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 has started in your service, so the risk sits with us, not you.
