Care work in Cambridge

We Find Places For People That Care in Cambridge

Cambridge is a different sort of care market to the big cities. Alongside the nursing and residential homes in the city itself there is a spread of smaller services through the market towns and villages, and those are often the ones that struggle most for cover. The Hitchin team covers the whole county, and a couple of named people handle Cambridgeshire, so you deal with someone who knows it.

Carers looking for regular shifts, managers short for tomorrow morning: same number. 01462 600 500 is answered 24 hours a day, and there is always someone on the end of it.

Areas we cover around Cambridge

The Hitchin team covers the whole CB postcode area, not just the places named here. These are the main towns and districts so you can see at a glance that you are covered:

• Cambridge city, Cherry Hinton & Trumpington (CB1, CB2)
• Chesterton, Arbury & Histon (CB4, CB24)
• Ely, Soham & the Fens (CB6, CB7)
• Newmarket & Haverhill (CB8, CB9)
• Saffron Walden & Great Dunmow (CB10, CB11, CM6)
• Royston & the villages towards Hitchin (SG8)

Somewhere in between, or just over the edge of the map? You are almost certainly still covered. Ask the Hitchin team on 01462 600 500.

Getting to shifts around Cambridge

Cambridge has good buses across the city and the guided busway out to St Ives and Huntingdon, and trains link the city with Ely, Royston and Hitchin. A lot of the care homes are in villages and market towns though, so a car makes a real difference in Cambridgeshire. If you do not drive, say so and the team will keep you to shifts you can reach.

For candidates in Cambridge

You need at least three months of UK paid care experience in the last five years, an enhanced DBS (we help you arrange it) and two references. Mandatory training has to be within the last 12 months, and if yours has lapsed the refreshers are free. After that you choose your own shifts through our staff app, get paid weekly, and have Blue Light Card membership. Apply online or call the Hitchin team on 01462 600 500.

For care providers in Cambridge

If you run a service in or around Cambridge, what you get is a small team who learn your home and send people who fit it. Every worker has an enhanced DBS, two references and mandatory training completed in the last 12 months before their first shift. We staff nursing and residential homes, dementia and EMI units, mental health and learning disability services, supported living, domiciliary care and children's services, including residential children's homes, schools and colleges.

The services we staff around Cambridge

Different settings need different people, and the Hitchin team books to the service, not just to the shift.

Residential & nursing homes · Dementia & EMI care · Mental health · Learning disabilities · Supported living · Domiciliary care · Children's services · Education

We also place chefs and kitchen staff and domestic and housekeeping staff into the same services, because a care home does not run on carers alone.
