Why Horizon

Not just names on a rota.

We check before we place

Every worker is DBS-checked, referenced and right-to-work verified before we place them. We don't send anyone whose compliance we haven't confirmed.

We match people to settings

A care home, a hospital ward and a supported living service aren't interchangeable. We look at where someone has actually worked before, not just what's on their CV.

We communicate clearly

You'll always know where things stand. If we can cover the shift, we'll tell you how and when. If we can't, we'll say so straight away — not keep you waiting.

We support urgent and planned needs

Same-day calls and three-month planned rotas are both things we handle. We don't treat one as more important than the other.

We stay accountable

Getting a worker to you isn't where we stop. We stay reachable, follow up when it matters and sort things out if something goes wrong.

How we work

Need to cover.

Tell us what you need
Call or email us with the role, setting, location and shift times. Tell us anything specific about the environment — we'll ask if we need more detail.
We confirm suitability
We check experience, compliance and professional registration before putting anyone forward. We only suggest a worker when their background genuinely fits what you've described.
Cover is arranged
We confirm all the details directly with the worker — shift times, where to report, who to speak to and anything specific about the role.
We stay in contact
We stay reachable after placement — for same-day changes, extensions, and anything that comes up mid-shift. If a requirement grows or shifts, you don't start from scratch. We already know your service.
