💙 Familiar faces make a difference.

When it comes to care staffing, continuity is about more than simply filling shifts.

Having familiar care professionals supporting your service can help build stronger relationships, maintain consistent routines and create a greater sense of trust and confidence for both staff and service users.

At Take Five Healthcare, we understand the importance of continuity. Wherever possible, we aim to provide familiar, reliable care professionals who understand your service and the people you support.

Because great staffing isn't just about covering a rota — it's about making a positive difference to the care you deliver.

📞 Looking for reliable staffing support? Call our team on 01452 222 220 to discuss how we can support your service.

Some jobs you leave at the door. Others leave you with a smile on your face. 💙

For Lily, being a Community Carer is about so much more than providing support. It’s the conversations, the laughs, the relationships you build and knowing that your time has made a difference to someone’s day.

That’s what a career in care can be — meaningful moments, genuine connections and work you can feel proud of.

If you’re compassionate, reliable and looking for a role where you can make a real difference, we’d love to hear from you.

Right to work rules changed today. Here's what it means for care providers 👇

From 1 October 2026, the legal duty to carry out right to work checks has expanded beyond employees to formally include agency workers, contractors and some platform-based roles, and businesses using them are expected to make sure those checks have been done. Good agencies have always checked, but now the law makes it explicit.

For providers who use agency support, there are two questions worth asking:

✅ Can you be confident that every person working in your service has had a proper right to work check?
✅ Can you be sure the person who arrives for the shift is the same person who was checked?

At Take Five Healthcare, we can answer yes to both.

🔹 Right to work is checked using the correct Home Office process, including online verification through TrustID, a certified provider on the government's digital verification register
🔹 Every carer then attends a welcome meeting at our office, where we meet them in person and inspect their original documents
🔹 Enhanced DBS checks, with no placement made until the certificate is received, and references obtained directly by our team
🔹 Training combines Care Certificate-aligned e-learning with face-to-face Moving & Handling from a qualified trainer
🔹 Training renewals and DBS updates are tracked for as long as someone works with us, not just on day one
🔹 Before a new carer arrives, you receive their full member profile, including compliance dates, DBS number and training record
🔹 We match carers to the setting, so you get the right person rather than whoever happens to be free

Good agency support should strengthen your compliance, never put it at risk. These changes are a positive step for the whole sector, and we're proud that the way we already work fits them.

Not sure if your current agency is doing it right? For peace of mind, get in touch with Take Five and let's talk about how we can support you.

Most agencies don’t directly employ their staff.

And that creates risk — whether it’s compliance gaps, unclear accountability, or unexpected costs.

At Take Five Healthcare, we do things differently.Every worker we supply is directly employed by us.

No umbrella companies. No third-party payroll. No grey areas.That means:
✔ Full oversight of compliance — DBS, right to work, training, references
✔ Total accountability — if something isn’t right, we fix it
✔ Transparent pricing — no hidden costs, no surprises

No shortcuts. Just proper staffing.

If you’re reviewing your agency support, it’s worth asking how your current provider is structured — and what that means for you.
