CARE STAFFING ACROSS WEST SUSSEX

Reliable staffing support built around your service

Whether you need temporary cover, support with a planned staffing requirement or help recruiting permanently, we begin by understanding your service, the role and the people you support.

Our approach considers suitability, communication, experience and availability so that organisations can make informed staffing decisions with greater confidence.

Flexible staffing and recruitment solutions

  • Temporary staffing

    Responsive staffing support for agreed short-term assignments, shift cover, temporary vacancies or periods of increased workforce demand.

  • Planned workforce cover

    Forward-planned staffing for leave, service changes, new projects, scheduled activities or known gaps in your workforce.

FOR CARE AND COMMUNITY ORGANISATIONS

People-first staffing that supports continuity and quality

We support care providers, community services and other organisations seeking dependable care and support workers across West Sussex.

We look beyond availability alone. Each request considers the role, setting, responsibilities, required experience, communication needs and the working environment. We also believe that workers who feel respected, prepared and supported are better placed to contribute positively to the services they join.

How our staffing and recruitment process works

  • 1. Tell us what your service needs

    Share the role, setting, duties, location, working pattern, required experience and proposed start date.

  • 2. We clarify the requirements

    We confirm the staffing route, responsibilities, essential criteria, agreed checks, rates or recruitment terms and expected timescales.

  • 3. We search and shortlist

    We identify potentially suitable workers or candidates and assess their information against the agreed role requirements.

  • 4. You review the available options

    You receive relevant candidate or worker information and decide who you wish to interview, accept or request for an assignment.

  • 5. The placement is confirmed

    We confirm the agreed arrangement, responsibilities and next steps. The process differs depending on whether the request is temporary staffing or permanent recruitment.

CLEAR FROM THE START

Screening, responsibilities and service expectations

What roles can Bluebell Haven Care help with?

Depending on the current service scope and worker availability, we may assist with care and support-worker roles, companionship and community-support roles and other non-clinical workforce requirements.

We will confirm whether we can support the particular role before accepting a staffing request.

What screening may be completed?

Screening may include identity, right-to-work, employment-history, reference and Disclosure and Barring Service checks where the role is eligible. Relevant training, qualifications and experience may also be reviewed against the role requirements.

We will explain which checks have been requested or completed for the proposed worker or candidate.

What information must the organisation provide?

The organisation should provide accurate information about the role, duties, working environment, hours, required experience, risks, supervision arrangements and any essential training or checks.

Complete information helps us assess suitability and communicate expectations clearly.

How do temporary staffing and permanent recruitment differ?

For temporary staffing, a worker is supplied for an agreed assignment under the applicable temporary staffing terms.

For permanent recruitment, Bluebell Haven Care introduces a candidate whom the organisation may choose to employ directly. The applicable fees, responsibilities and arrangements will be confirmed in writing before recruitment begins.

Who directs the worker’s day-to-day activities?

The hiring organisation is responsible for providing an appropriate induction, explaining local procedures and directing the worker’s day-to-day activities within the agreed role.

The precise employment, supervision and administrative responsibilities depend on whether the arrangement is temporary staffing or permanent recruitment and will be set out in the written terms.

What happens if a placement is unsuitable?

Contact Bluebell Haven Care promptly to explain the concern. We will review the issue in line with the agreed terms, safeguarding responsibilities and available options.

Any replacement or alternative candidate will be subject to the applicable agreement and availability.

Bluebell Haven Care is committed to promoting safety, dignity and wellbeing. This page explains how to recognise and raise a safeguarding concern, what information to provide and where to seek urgent help in West Sussex.
