Permanent and temporary care staffing for care homes, supported living and home-care providers across the UK.

Adult Social Care Recruitment

Dependable people for essential care services.

The right appointment helps protect continuity, strengthen the team and give the people using a service consistent support.

Clayton Miles is a UK social care recruitment agency supporting residential homes, nursing homes, domiciliary care, supported living and complex-care providers. We recruit Registered Managers, Care Home Managers, Care Assistants, Support Workers, Care Coordinators and operational professionals for permanent and temporary positions.

Every service operates differently, even when the job titles look familiar. We discuss the people supported, the care model, team structure, rota, location and day-to-day responsibilities before identifying candidates. This helps us understand which experience is essential and where a candidate's skills may transfer successfully from another setting.

Our care home recruitment service covers leadership and frontline appointments. A Registered Manager or Home Manager search may involve team development, occupancy, quality, budgets and relationships with families and professionals. Care Assistant and Support Worker recruitment places greater emphasis on practical experience, communication, availability and the ability to provide consistent support.

Temporary care staffing can help providers respond to absence, vacancies and changing demand, while permanent recruitment supports continuity and long-term team development. We confirm shifts, travel, availability and the role-specific evidence agreed with you before presenting a candidate.

Working with a specialist care staffing agency gives managers a focused route to people who may not be reached through a general advert. Whether you need one experienced manager, several support workers or continuing recruitment help across multiple services, we shape the search around the realities of your organisation.
