About Mid Wales Homes

Why we exist

Care recruitment in Mid Wales is its own discipline. The shortlist matters more than the volume. The reliability, the temperament and the genuine commitment to care decide whether a carer or HCA is still on the rota at six months. Generalist agencies treat Mid Wales as an afterthought and miss the signals that decide retention.

Mid Wales Homes was set up to fix that. We are a permanent care recruitment partner with one belief at the centre of the desk: a hire only works if both sides feel cared for. The operator gets a brief taken seriously, a shortlist delivered on time and a consultant who knows the home, the residents and the town. The carer gets the truth about the rota, the team and the residents.

What we do, plainly

We place permanent care home, domiciliary and live-in care staff for Mid Wales operators across ten care roles. Our desk is built around hires that stay - the brief, the vetting, the offer support, the day-7 / 30 / 90 follow-ups - every step geared toward six-month outcomes.

The roles we place most often:

• Care home workers (residential and nursing)
• Healthcare assistants (HCAs)
• Senior carers (QCF Level 3)
• Domiciliary care workers
• Live-in carers
• Care coordinators
• Activity coordinators
• Cooks & catering
• Maintenance staff
• Care managers (registered, deputy, clinical leads)

Who we work for

Our clients are Mid Wales care home operators, domiciliary care providers, supported-living organisations and private live-in-care families. Mostly small to mid-size operators across Powys and Ceredigion, with managers who want to spend less time on recruitment and more time on resident care.

How we vet

Every candidate goes through:

• Right-to-work verification
• Enhanced DBS check
• Professional reference contact (current and previous care manager where possible)
• Qualification verification (QCF Level 2/3 in Health & Social Care, mandatory training records)
• A compassion-led conversation about motivation, retention drivers and rota flexibility
• Salary expectations, notice period and start window captured in writing

How we think about a placement

A successful placement is not a CV submission. It is the moment six months later when the carer is still on the rota, still kind to residents and still committed to the home. That is the only outcome that matters to us.

Our values, the short version

• Mid Wales-rooted. Our candidate network is built around the region.
• Tell the truth. If the rate is below the going local rate, we will say so.
• One throat to choke. One consultant per client, end to end.
• Stand behind the work. Free replacement period on every placement.
• DBS & references first. Enhanced DBS and two professional references checked before introduction.
