Aroha Staffing places permanent care staff for UK residential, domiciliary, mental health and learning disability providers. One named consultant, vetted candidates, hires that the residents recognise.
"They listened to what we needed before sending anyone. The carer they placed has been with us six months and is loved by residents."
Care recruitment depends on safeguarding, calibration and continuity.

The word "aroha" means love or care, and the desk is built around the same principle: a placement only works if both sides feel cared for. Residents recognise the same faces. Carers feel listened to. Managers stop spending their evenings re-running the same recruitment cycle.
Every candidate has DBS, references, Care Certificate and qualification checks completed before introduction. Above that sits the cultural fit conversation about resident type, behavioural support and CQC inspection readiness.
If the band is below local market for a senior carer or LD team leader, we will say so before we start.
Permanent placements only across UK residential, nursing, domiciliary, mental health, learning disability and dementia services. We do not run agency shift desks and we do not place clinical NHS roles.
