About
Our Mission and Values
Ofcare Group is a leading recruitment agency specialising in the care sector. We connect high-quality care professionals with care homes, supported living services, and other social care providers across the UK. Our deep industry knowledge — including extensive experience in children’s residential care — sets us apart and allows us to deliver tailored recruitment solutions that meet the highest standards.
Whether you're looking for permanent care staff, temporary support workers, or specialist roles within care settings, Ofcare Group is your trusted partner in care recruitment. We understand what it takes to build reliable, compassionate teams that truly make a difference.
Our Expertise
At Ofcare Group, we recruit exceptional care professionals for a wide range of settings, with a strong focus on children’s residential care homes. Our candidates are carefully selected for their experience, values, and ability to thrive in high-demand, regulated environments. From frontline support to senior leadership, we supply staff who understand the complexities of care — especially within services supporting vulnerable children and young people.
Support Workers
We supply experienced support workers for children’s care homes, particularly those supporting young people with EBD (emotional and behavioural difficulties), trauma histories, or complex behavioural needs. Our candidates are trained in safeguarding, behaviour management, and building positive, therapeutic relationships.
Responsible Individuals
Ofcare Group works with Responsible Individuals who bring governance, oversight, and strategic leadership to children’s homes and multi-service care organisations. They understand both Ofsted and CQC expectations and are committed to maintaining high standards of care and compliance.
Team Leaders / Shift Leaders
We recruit team leaders with a proven ability to lead shifts in both children’s and adult care settings. These individuals ensure smooth day-to-day operations, supervise staff, and uphold care quality and safety — especially during high-pressure situations.
Deputy Managers
Our deputy managers support registered managers with operational oversight, staff development, and compliance monitoring. Many have experience in both children’s services and adult provision, offering flexible leadership across multiple care environments.
Senior Residential Support Workers
Our senior support staff provide leadership and consistency within residential care teams. They bring advanced skills in shift coordination, incident response, and supporting less experienced colleagues — all while keeping young people at the centre of care.
