The Department of Health has reported that the number of 85 year olds in the UK is set to double in the next 20 years.

With longer life resulting in more complex, longer term illnesses, the healthcare industry is changing – faster than most people realise.

Randstad Care recognises the crucial need for experienced, high calibre healthcare workers to cope with this excessive demand, and has the reach, resources and expertise to meet it.

We focus on both the UK and international markets to alleviate skill shortages and ensure a steady supply of excellence, fuelled by a steadfast commitment to quality in care that begins with our candidates.

An industry dealing with rapid change requires consistent, up-to-date training – a strength in only 16% of councils according to the Care Quality Commission (CQC).*

For us, training is considered paramount and enables us to maintain our reputation for providing the most qualified and dedicated people in the industry. Registered with the Care Quality Commission, we make sure each and every one of our temporary workers is entitled to ongoing training and support with gaining new qualifications, completely free of charge.

Our own professional in-house training department offers courses to meet every requirement, from comprehensive induction to specialised on-the-job programmes, as well as bespoke courses - everything from one-on-one sessions to group workshops. Constantly reviewed and updated, our course list includes:

First Aid at Work / Refresher Appointed Persons / Refresher Basic Life Support People Handling / Refresher Manual Handling Autism Dementia Epilepsy Medication Awareness

Skills for Care (Level 1) Skills for Care (Level 2) Child Protection Fire Awareness Food Hygiene Health & Safety Infection Control Loss & Bereavement Protection of Vulnerable Adults

We delivered 4.5 million hours of care last year in the UK alone thanks to the sought-after nature of our candidates, and are already the UK’s largest social care recruiter. This means that while public expectations intensify, year after year, Randstad Care truly are one step ahead.
