Local Care Force celebrates 20 years of success

A specialist healthcare recruiter is marking two decades of providing vital staffing solutions and training in the nursing, healthcare and social care sectors.

Local Care Force, with offices in Leeds, Sheffield and Manchester, has completed over 1.5 million shifts and supports 550 temporary staff alongside its 35-strong core team.

Recognised for its compliance and quality standards, the agency has been a top supplier to organisations including private hospitals such as Priory and HFT, a specialist learning disability provider, for over a decade.

Founded by former healthcare professional Leanne Silverwood, the company has introduced more than 1,100 individuals to care careers through its ‘Prepare to Care’ and ‘New to Care’ training courses.

Leanne said: “We are so proud to have reached this major milestone of 20 years in business.

“We are industry specialists providing consistency and quality and we couldn’t have done it without our incredible team of dedicated, committed, and loyal workers.

“Over the years, we've learned many valuable lessons that have shaped our company into what it is today.”

With accolades including a place in the Sunday Times 100 Best Small Companies and being the only agency to ever be inducted into the Royal Collage of Nursing library of best practice, Local Care Force continues to set standards for the care industry.

Leanne added: “As an agency, we pride ourselves on being small enough to care and to make every one of our clients feel important, whilst still being big enough with a strong enough infrastructure to weather the storm. 

“The last four years have been an absolute roller coaster and navigating the pandemic was one of the biggest challenges we could have ever experienced.

“The fact that we are still here is a testament to the incredible hard work and dedication of every single member of our team.”
