A day in recruitment can go from calm to chaos very quickly.

One minute you are checking availability, speaking to candidates and updating clients.

The next minute someone asks:

“Have you got anyone who can start tonight?”

If only there was a magic cupboard full of fully compliant, experienced children’s residential staff ready to go immediately.

But behind every placement there is a lot of checking, matching, compliance, conversations and making sure the right person is going into the right home.

Especially in children’s services, where being available is not enough.

Staff need to be suitable.
They need to understand the home.
They need to support the team.
And most importantly, they need to put the young people first.

Recruitment can be chaos, but when the right person walks into the right home at the right time, it is always worth it.

If you require any type of support, feel free to reach out and we can have a chat :) - 0116 464 00 30

💡 One of the biggest challenges facing children's residential care providers today is balancing high-quality care with ongoing workforce pressures.

With increasing demand for placements and growing expectations around outcomes for young people, having the right team in place has never been more important.

While recruitment remains challenging across the sector, we're seeing that providers who focus on attracting values-driven professionals and investing in staff development are achieving the best results for both their teams and the children they support.

At DegreeSix, we're currently working with a number of experienced professionals across the Midlands who are available for opportunities within children's residential services, including:

✅ Residential Support Workers
✅ Senior Residential Support Workers
✅ Team Leaders
✅ Deputy Managers
✅ Registered Managers
✅ Bank & Temporary Staff

If your service is experiencing staffing shortages, needs cover for annual leave, sickness, or growth, we'd be happy to discuss how we can help.

Together, we can ensure young people continue to receive the stable, consistent care they deserve.

📩 Feel free to contact me directly to discuss your staffing requirements or to find out more about the candidates currently available in your area.

A little midweek reminder of what we do at DegreeSix 👇

Supporting children’s homes across Staffordshire and Shropshire isn’t just about “filling shifts.”

It’s about understanding each home, the young people within it, and providing staff who genuinely fit the environment and culture.

Whether it’s temporary cover, ongoing staffing challenges, or finding the right long-term support, we know how important consistency and quality are within children’s services.

Relationships, communication, and market knowledge matter. And that’s exactly what we aim to bring every day. 🤝

22/05/2026

Not everyone switches off easily in business.

There’s always another email, another shift to fill, another call to return.

But with the Bank Holiday weekend here, this is your reminder to recharge properly.

Spend time with family.
See your friends.
Switch off for a bit.

Because showing up fresh on Tuesday is far more valuable than running on empty by Friday.

To everyone working this weekend,especially healthcare and support staff. We appreciate you 👏

And to everyone else…
Enjoy the long weekend ☀️

Recruitment conversations can change VERY quickly 😂

Client:
“No thanks, we don’t need agency support right now.”

A few hours later:
🚨 “We’ve had another placement…”
🚨 “We need immediate night staff.”
🚨 “Can you help ASAP?”

The industry changes overnight.

That’s why good recruitment partners stay ready, stay flexible, and show up when things suddenly change.

And honestly?
We’re always happy to help even when it becomes last minute.

One thing I’ll never understand in recruitment…
A candidate accepts an interview, accepts the role, goes through the process… then disappears to join another company a few weeks later ....

No communication. No honesty. Nothing.

We all get busy, we all have stressful days, and sometimes people forget manners. It happens.

But recruitment works both ways.

Clients give up time.
Recruiters put their reputation on the line.
Businesses pause schedules to interview.
If you’ve changed your mind, just say it.

A simple message saves everyone time and keeps relationships respectful.

Reliability and communication still matter in recruitment and in business.

As we head into the weekend, it’s another reminder of how important support within children’s care really is.
One of the biggest misconceptions about agency staffing is that homes only use agency support when things are going wrong.

In reality, many homes use agency staff to:
• maintain safe staffing levels
• cover annual leave
• prevent burnout
• provide consistency for young people

We currently support homes across the East, West, and South Midlands 📍

If your home is in need of reliable support this weekend, feel free to reach out on 0116 464 00 30 or email [email protected]👏

If you work in children’s care recruitment, you’ll know this feeling 😂
You finally manage to fill every shift…

Then suddenly:

📞 “We need emergency cover tonight”

📞 “Can you help with a waking night?”

📞 “One of our staff has called in sick”

And just like that… the day starts all over again.

Fast-paced, unpredictable, and sometimes chaotic, but always worth it when you’re helping homes get the support they need 👏
