Children's Home Recruitment in Crawley

YourRecruit’s children’s homes team recruits across Crawley and the surrounding West Sussex, Surrey and Gatwick area, working with residential childcare providers to find Registered Managers, Deputy Managers, Residential Support Workers, Senior Support Workers and experienced children’s care professionals.

Crawley sits in a particularly interesting recruitment location. With Horsham, East Grinstead, Horley, Redhill and parts of Surrey all within reach, finding the right person often means looking beyond a postcode boundary and understanding how people actually travel to work.

A little bit about Crawley…

Here’s something you might not know: modern Crawley was deliberately created as a New Town in 1947, bringing together Crawley, Three Bridges and Ifield. Its original planners designed it around separate neighbourhoods, each intended to have its own shops, school, church and community facilities.

More than 75 years later, that idea of creating strong local communities feels surprisingly relevant to children’s residential care. A successful children’s home is much more than a building. It needs the right people around it to create stability, consistency and a genuine sense of home.

What recruitment looks like in Crawley

Crawley’s location creates a recruitment crossover between West Sussex and Surrey. Depending on the home, viable candidates may come from Horsham, East Grinstead, Horley, Redhill and communities around Gatwick, so we search according to real travelling patterns rather than county lines.
