Streamlined permanent recruitment for care providers. Faster hires, stronger candidates.
Looking for your next permanent care role?
Hartwell Care is a permanent recruitment partner who helps care providers hire Support Workers, Senior Support Workers, Team Leaders, Deputy Managers and Registered Managers. With a stronger focus to find a long-term fit from a thoughtful approach and rigorous screen process.
Permanent recruitment in care needs more than speed
When you are under pressure to fill roles in regulated care, getting it wrong is costly in every sense. A poor hire can disrupt a team, increase pressure on your managers, affect continuity of care and create risk for the people who rely on your service.
Tom Wilson created Hartwell Care to help regulated care providers make stronger permanent hires.
We work with employers across children’s residential care, adult residential care and supported living to recruit people who are not only qualified on paper, but suited to the setting, the leadership, the responsibilities and the realities of the role.
We focus on permanent recruitment because long-term fit matters. In care, recruitment should not feel rushed, generic or transactional.
We are focused on fit, not just filling vacancies
Too much care recruitment is treated like vacancy filling. A role opens, CVs are sent, interviews are arranged and everyone hopes for the best.
That may create activity, but it does not always solve the real hiring problem.
At Hartwell Care, we start with the role itself. We look at the setting, the leadership style, the pressures in the team, the expectations of the post and the type of person most likely to succeed there. That helps us search, screen and shortlist with more discipline.
The result is a better brief, better candidate conversations and a stronger match between employer, role and candidate.
