What we do
Built around nursing home rotas
Our focus is nursing homes and the clinical and care staff their rotas depend on. We recruit, vet and supply the people; your organisation directs and manages the care. We charge for quality and pay our staff fairly, because a worker treated properly is the one who turns up on a Saturday night.
Temporary staffing
Sickness, sudden vacancies and block bookings, filled from a vetted pool.
Permanent recruitment
Care staff to registered nurses and clinical leads, shortlisted against your job description and culture.
Specialist staffing
Mental health, complex care, learning disabilities and autism, matched on experience and briefed before they arrive.
Live-in care recruitment for registered providers
Experienced live-in care staff for registered home care and live-in providers. Your organisation directs and manages the care.
Care-home chefs
Care-experienced chefs trained in food safety, allergens and IDDSI texture diets. Book a chef.
For nursing home managers

Why Capegold Care
Standards you can evidence to an inspector
Clinical experience behind every booking
Clinical standards set and reviewed by people with experience in care and nursing, not a sales desk.
Every worker fully vetted
Enhanced DBS, two verified references, right to work checked from originals, a face to face interview, observed competencies and a photo identity profile before every placement.
24/7 on-call that answers
A 3am call gets a decision and cover, not a voicemail. A four-hour cancellation courtesy in both directions.
Local presence, real relationships
Based in Taunton and Bridgwater, with a named contact who knows your service.
Fairly paid, so they turn up
Paid weekly with holiday pay on top, so they do not drop a weekend shift. Not right within four hours of starting? You pay nothing for that shift.
Ask any agency three things. Does that rate include VAT? Who covered your last Sunday shift? Did they turn up?
Who we work with
Services that cannot afford an empty shift
We supply across a broad range of health and social care settings in the South West. If your service is not on this list, ask us anyway.
How it works
Simple for you, thorough behind the scenes
Tell us what you need
Call the on-call line or send the staff request form. Role, setting, dates, anything the worker should know before arriving.
We match and brief
We put forward vetted workers whose experience fits your setting, and we brief them properly. You confirm who you want.
They arrive ready
Compliance is already in place and available for your file. Timesheets, invoicing and any issue go through one named contact.
For healthcare professionals
Work that fits around your life
Paid fairly and weekly, with holiday pay on top. You choose your shifts and speak to someone who knows your name. In return: you turn up, on time, including the weekends you agreed.
- Weekday, weekend, night and sleep-in shifts across the South West
- Free training with practical competencies signed off properly
- A named consultant, not a rota-bot
- Straightforward pay, paid weekly
You will need at least three months' paid experience in a healthcare setting and two referees who can confirm it.
Care you would want for your own family
People first. Always!
Whether you are covering a shift tonight or building a team for next year, start with a conversation.
