What we do
Four ways we keep your rota covered
We are an employment business and employment agency: we recruit, vet and supply the people. Your organisation directs and manages the care.
Permanent recruitment
Introductions for substantive posts, from care staff to registered nurses and clinical leads. We shortlist against your job description and your culture, not against a target.
Specialist staffing
Mental health, complex care, learning disabilities and autism. Staff matched on experience with the specific presentation and the specific setting, briefed before they arrive.
Live-in care recruitment for registered providers
We recruit and supply experienced live-in care staff to registered home care and live-in care providers. Your organisation directs and manages the care; we deliver dependable, fully vetted staff ready to join your service.
Ready when your rota is not
A person answers, any hour of any day
Sickness at six in the morning or a resignation at midnight: call 07460 246 863 and you reach someone who can actually arrange cover, not a voicemail.

Why Capegold Care
Standards you can evidence to an inspector
Nurse-led from the top
Our clinical standards are set and reviewed by a registered nurse, not by a sales desk. That shapes who we accept onto our books, how we assess competence and how we escalate a concern.
Every worker fully vetted
Enhanced DBS. Two verified references. Right to work confirmed. Training completed, with practical competencies observed rather than self-declared. No shortcuts when the rota is tight.
24/7 on-call that answers
A 3am call gets a person who can look at the pool, make a decision and call you back. Our client terms commit us to it, and we hold ourselves to a four-hour cancellation courtesy in both directions.
Local presence, real relationships
We are based in Bridgwater and work closely with services across Somerset, supplying more widely across England. You get a named contact who knows your service, not a call centre queue.
Who we work with
Services that cannot afford an empty shift
We supply across a broad range of health and social care settings in England. 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
We are a small agency that treats people like people. You choose your shifts, you get paid on time, and you speak to someone who knows your name.
- Weekday, weekend, night and sleep-in shifts across England
- 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.
