Care home staffing · Lancashire & the North West
Care Circle Staffing supplies vetted, trained and compassionate care professionals to care homes — for a single shift, a busy season, or the long term.
Who we are
Care Circle Staffing is a Preston-based agency founded by people who know care from the inside. We believe residents deserve familiar, kind faces and care homes deserve a partner they can count on — so we recruit carefully, train properly, and match each professional to the homes where they'll make the biggest difference.
What we do
From last-minute cover to planned long-term placements, we supply the right people with the right skills — when you need them.
Sickness, holidays or unexpected gaps — we respond quickly with carers ready to step in, day or night.
Consistent staff who get to know your residents and routines.
Dementia care, complex needs and the wider team that keeps a home running.
How it works
Call or send a request with the role, shift times and any resident or skill requirements.
We select from our vetted team, prioritising staff who already know your home wherever possible.
You receive confirmation and staff profiles; our carers arrive briefed, on time and ready to work.
Feedback after every placement helps us keep standards high and get even better at matching.
Three words we hold every Care Circle professional to — before their first shift and every shift after.
Our standards
Every professional we place goes through the same thorough checks before their first shift.
Enhanced DBS with barred list check for every carer.
Identity and right-to-work documents checked in line with Home Office guidance.
Moving & handling, safeguarding, infection control, first aid and more.
Face-to-face interviews and checked employment references.
A team that answers and acts quickly when you need cover.
Staff who respect dignity, choice and each resident's routine.
Training and checks tracked and renewed — not just at sign-up.
Your feedback after every placement shapes who we send next.
