Yes – and often urgently. Unexpected absences, sudden increases in demand, or rota gaps that appear overnight are all situations care homes face regularly. That’s where an agency like Cucumber comes in. We exist to get experienced, vetted care staff to you quickly, so your residents are never left without the cover they need.

Bank staff are workers who aren’t employed on a fixed contract but are available to fill shifts on a flexible, as-needed basis. Care homes typically call on bank staff to cover sickness, holidays, or unexpected gaps in the rota – often at very short notice. At Cucumber Recruitment, we specialise in exactly this kind of urgent cover, so you’re never left scrambling to fill a shift.

We supply care assistants and support workers for urgent and flexible cover. Whether you need someone tomorrow or by the end of the week, all candidates we put forward have been screened in advance – so when time is tight, you’re not compromising on who you bring in.

The sooner you get in touch, the sooner we can act. To move fast, it helps to have your shift dates and times, the role you need covered, and your care home location ready when you contact us. Get in touch with Cucumber today and we’ll get straight to work finding you the right cover.
