Quick employer brief
What roles do you need to fill?
These optional fields prepare an email. They do not submit your information to a website database.
Your email app opens an editable draft. Nothing is sent until you send it. When using the website contact form, mention the selected care setting, as this page cannot automatically populate that separate form. Do not include personal details about candidates or people receiving care.
Recruitment with regulatory awareness
Right people. Right experience. Appropriate checks.
Hiring for a regulated adult care service involves more than matching a CV with a job title. The service model, qualifications, competence, values and relevant regulatory requirements all shape suitability.
CQC Regulation 19 requires providers to operate effective recruitment processes and make appropriate checks. A recruitment partner can support a search, but the registered provider remains responsible for ensuring applicable employment and regulatory requirements are met.
Frequently asked questions
A clearer route to the right hire.
Practical answers for care providers and employer teams exploring specialist recruitment support.
Which CQC recruitment setting should I choose?
Select the setting that best reflects your service model: nursing home, domiciliary care, residential care, supported living or other adult services. If you operate several types, use the wider enquiry option and explain your requirements.
Can Delphi help with Registered Manager and senior care roles?
Delphi’s adult care recruitment routes include relevant leadership and management requirements. Whether a particular role can be supported depends on the service, location, candidate availability and agreed recruitment scope.
Do you cover frontline and clinical staff?
Delphi works with adult care recruitment requirements that may include care, nursing, management and specialist roles. Provide the vacancy details so the team can assess whether appropriate support is available.
Can we enquire about multiple homes or care locations?
Yes. You can describe several locations or service types in one enquiry. Include the number of positions, roles and areas involved so Delphi can discuss the scope.
Who remains responsible for safer recruitment checks?
The recruiting provider remains responsible for meeting applicable employment and CQC requirements, including relevant suitability and recruitment checks. CQC Regulation 19 explains the expectations for fit and proper persons employed.
How quickly can vacancies be filled?
Timelines depend on role requirements, location, candidate suitability and the recruitment market. Delphi cannot guarantee availability, placement or a specific timescale.
What information helps Delphi assess our hiring need?
Share your care setting, vacancy title, location, essential qualifications and experience, anticipated working arrangements and timing. Do not send sensitive care records or identifiable candidate details through a general enquiry.
