HR in Healthcare – Employee Relations Support That Works for You
Helping care home managers, owners and small HR teams meet regulatory standards, manage staff effectively, and protect both residents and employees.
Running a care home is demanding. From compliance and inspections to recruitment, staff wellbeing and absence management, every detail matters. That is just as true across the wider healthcare sector, where high pressure environments, strict regulation and constant staffing challenges make people management incredibly complex. That is why the right HR support is not optional, it is essential. At The HR Booth, we specialise in delivering practical, sector specific HR solutions tailored to the reality of care providers and healthcare organisations across the UK.
Supporting Healthcare Teams Where It Matters Most
The HR Booth works with care businesses across the UK, delivering responsive, high-quality support. Our team acts as an extension of your internal Team. We offer practical, proactive, and legally sound guidance that keeps your operations running smoothly. HR in healthcare that works for you.
I went to The HR Booth because my previous HR service did not appear to be keeping up with relevant legislation for my business and I was concerned about this. My own service has grown quite quickly and I needed a service that could keep up with this and at the same time support my managers to also give them confidence in what they were doing.
The HR Booth service does just that, they are reactive and available as soon as my managers need advise. Excellent service and I would also highly recommend this to anyone. keep up the excellent work!
