Careat – Trusted Nursing & Healthcare Recruitment Since 1986

With nearly four decades of experience in healthcare recruitment, Careat has proudly supported the NHS and private sector with high-quality nursing and healthcare staff since 1986. From the early days of DTI licensing and local authority-issued nursing licences, through CSSI registration and now under the governance of the CQC, we’ve grown with the industry – adapting, evolving, and always staying compliant.

At Careat, our longevity is no accident. It’s built on our deep understanding of the sector, a commitment to service excellence, and a track record of delivering the right people, in the right place, at the right time. Compliance isn’t just a requirement – it’s a mindset. With every shift in legislation and regulation, we’ve embraced change and enhanced our policies to ensure both our clients and candidates remain fully supported and protected.

Today, operating from our Birmingham city centre base, we continue to supply a full spectrum of healthcare professionals across the UK. Our specialities include:

Registered General Nurses (RGN)
Registered Mental Health Nurses (RMN) – Bands 5 to 9
Healthcare Assistants (HCA)
Support Workers

We serve both the NHS and private nursing and care homes, delivering responsive, reliable staffing solutions with compassion and professionalism.

At Careat, we’ve not only been there and done that – we’re still doing it, better than ever. And we’ll continue to be at the forefront of healthcare staffing for decades to come.
