OakGar Recruitment

OakGar Recruitment provides permanent staffing solutions in health & social care across the UK.

Family-run since 2017, we focus on a person-centred approach, supplying care assistants, support workers, seniors, management & clinical staff.

04/06/2026

111,000 adult social care vacancies.

While the latest workforce figures show that vacancy rates have improved since their post-pandemic peak, the reality is that over 111,000 roles across England remain unfilled. With more than 1.6 million people employed in the sector, the demand for skilled, compassionate professionals continues to grow.

For care providers, recruitment isn't simply about filling a rota gap. Every vacancy impacts existing teams, increases pressure on staff and, ultimately, affects the quality and continuity of care delivered to residents.

The challenge facing the sector today isn't just attracting candidates—it's finding the right people. Individuals who bring empathy, resilience and a genuine passion for making a difference.

At OakGar, we believe successful recruitment is built on relationships. Taking the time to understand both the needs of our clients and the aspirations of our candidates allows us to create long-term matches that benefit everyone involved.

Whether we're supporting a care home with a key leadership appointment or helping to strengthen frontline teams, our focus remains the same: connecting exceptional people with outstanding care providers.

We specialise in:
✅ Permanent recruitment
✅ Interim recruitment
✅ Care homes and healthcare settings
✅ A people-first, relationship-driven approach

As the sector continues to evolve, collaboration between providers and recruitment partners has never been more important. Investing in the right people today helps build stronger, more resilient care services for tomorrow.

If you're looking to grow your team or would simply like to discuss the current recruitment landscape, we'd be delighted to have a conversation.

Behind every staffing challenge… is a human story.

In health & social care, recruitment isn’t just about filling roles—it’s about supporting the people who dedicate their lives to caring for others.

But right now, the sector is facing real challenges:
• Ongoing staff shortages
• Increasing burnout and pressure
• Retention struggles
• Shifting candidate expectations
• The need for true values-led hiring

These aren’t just operational issues—they affect real people, real teams, and the quality of care being delivered every day.

At OakGar Recruitment, we believe the solution isn’t just more hiring—it’s better, more thoughtful recruitment.
Because when we get it right, the impact goes far beyond the workplace.

Dementia Action Week 💛

Dementia Action Week is a national awareness campaign that encourages individuals, communities and organisations to take action to improve the lives of people affected by dementia.

Across health and social care, we know that delivering great dementia care goes far beyond clinical experience alone. Often, it’s the smaller things that have the greatest impact:
✅ Patience
✅ Consistency
✅ Kindness
✅ Reassurance
✅ Taking the time to truly listen

For providers building strong dementia care teams, values, empathy and culture fit are just as important as qualifications and experience. The right people can make an enormous difference not only to residents, but to families and wider care teams too.

As part of Dementia Action Week, we want to recognise the incredible professionals working within dementia care settings every day, providing compassion, dignity and support in what can often be challenging environments.

At OakGar Recruitment, we’re proud to support providers in finding people who genuinely care about making that difference.

The care sector in 2017 looked very different to the sector we see today.

Over the last 9 years, health and social care has faced enormous change — increasing demand, workforce pressures, evolving regulations, changing candidate expectations, and the lasting impact of Covid across every part of the industry.

We’ve seen providers adapt, leaders step up under pressure, and teams continue delivering exceptional care through some incredibly challenging periods.

Recruitment has evolved alongside it too.

Today, culture, retention and long-term fit matter more than ever. Candidates are looking beyond salary alone, and providers are placing greater value on stability, leadership and values-led hiring.

But despite everything that has changed, the fundamentals still remain the same:

good care starts with good people.

As part of our anniversary week, we’ve been reflecting not only on how far OakGar has come since 2017, but how much respect we have for a sector that continues to show resilience, compassion and commitment every single day.

Here’s to continuing to support the people behind care — now and into the future 🤍

Over the last 9 years working alongside health and social care providers across the UK, one thing has become increasingly clear:

great care is built by great people.

The sector has faced enormous change since 2017 — evolving regulations, workforce challenges, increasing demand, and the lasting impact of Covid — yet the resilience, compassion and commitment within care continues to stand out every day.

We’ve had the privilege of partnering with providers through periods of growth, challenge and transformation, and throughout that time, the importance of strong leadership, stable teams and values-led recruitment has only become more evident.

As part of our anniversary week, we’ve been reflecting not only on OakGar’s journey over the last 9 years, but on the incredible people across health and social care who continue to make a difference every single day.

Thank you to every provider, leader and candidate who has trusted us to be part of that journey.

Here’s to continuing to support a sector that deserves recognition far beyond one week of celebration.

9 years of OakGar Recruitment 🖤✨🌳

From a bedroom desk in 2017 to supporting care providers across the UK and beyond in 2026, one thing has never changed — our belief in putting relationships and people first.

Over the last 9 years, we’ve had the privilege of supporting incredible candidates, partnering with dedicated care providers, and working alongside leaders who continue to make a difference every single day.

To every client who trusted us, every candidate who allowed us to champion them, and every person who has been part of the OakGar journey — thank you 🤍

And to our MD, Frankie — thank you for your leadership, support, trust and mentorship over the last 9 years. We’re incredibly proud of everything you’ve built and grateful for the time, patience and belief you continue to invest into your team.

2017 to 2026 🌳🖤💛

OakGar started as a one-man mission: do recruitment properly in Health and Social Care, something our MD is just as passionate about today as he was when he first started.

Fast forward to today, and we’ve grown into a company with a brilliant team, offices in two locations, and the same focus we began with: helping care providers build stable, high-quality teams.

We’re proud of what’s changed.

And even prouder of what hasn’t: honest communication, relationship-led recruitment, and putting people first.

To everyone who’s been part of the journey so far, thank you.

Here’s to what comes next!!

Good candidates move fast.

Not because they’re rushing —
but because they’re in demand.

The reality is, most strong candidates aren’t actively applying.
They’re being approached, having conversations, and making decisions quietly in the background.

By the time a role is fully scoped, approved, and pushed through a long hiring process…
they’ve already accepted something else.

It’s not always about offering more.
Or competing harder.

It’s about timing.
Clarity.
And knowing exactly what you’re looking for before you start.

Because when the right person comes along,
there’s usually a very small window to get it right.
