Recruiting social care talent in South West 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 residential, nursing, domiciliary and rural care provision across the South West. We know where the strong performers are, and how to get them interested in your service.
From CQC-registered homes in the cities to rural domiciliary and supported living across Devon, Cornwall and Somerset, we understand the region's providers. We understand what different care providers need from a hire, and what tends to go wrong.
The best care managers and qualified professionals in South West 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 South West, let’s have a conversation.
Yes. We have recruited care and nursing professionals across South West since 2002, from care coordinators through to operations directors, for SMEs and established organisations alike. Whether you need a single hire or a whole care team in South West, we can help, and we will know the local market you are hiring into.
As a 2026 guide for South West: Care Coordinator £28k, Team Leader £28k, Deputy Manager £34k, Care Home Manager £47k, Regional Manager £66k and Operations Director £82k. South West pay is typically 3% below the UK average. The table above shows the full ranges, and we are happy to benchmark the exact role you are hiring.
It depends on the role, mainly how senior the position is and how hard it is to fill, so we don't quote a one-size-fits-all number. We would rather talk it through with you on a quick call and agree a clear, fixed fee upfront before we start any work, with no surprises later. The one thing we can promise now: there is nothing to pay unless you actually hire someone we introduce. Give us a call and we will give you a straight answer for your specific role.
Across the whole care structure. Care coordinators, team leaders and senior carers, registered nurses and clinical leads, deputy and registered managers, care and nursing home managers, and up to regional and operations directors. Permanent and interim, across residential, domiciliary and specialist services.
Usually a shortlist of vetted, interviewed candidates within days, and we understand the compliance and safeguarding that care hiring demands. You only see people we have met and checked, not a stack of CVs, so you can move quickly without cutting corners.
The best care and nursing professionals are usually already in post, not job hunting. We reach them through networks built over two decades, referrals and direct, discreet approaches, which is how you fill a role with someone genuinely right rather than whoever happens to be available.
Every placement comes with a three-month rebate and replacement guarantee. If it does not work out in the first three months, we either find you a replacement or refund a share of the fee. We would far rather get it right first time, but the guarantee means the risk sits with us, not with you.
When your new hire starts, and nothing before. No charge to brief us, nothing on shortlist, nothing at interview. Our fee is only due once the right person is in post and working. If we do not find someone you hire, it has not cost you a penny.
