Why use an agency?

What is the process of recruiting a Nanny through Careline?

Our Family Registration Form can be completed by speaking to one of our childcare recruitment staff by phone, or if you prefer we can send one to you for you to return. Once we have this information we can start matching candidates to your role.

 

We will identify which applicant nannies meet the criteria for your requirements, and forward  profiles of these nannies to you (by e-mailing, fax or post). The profiles will contain their first name, date of birth, qualifications, brief history of their experience and any details relating to their CRB checks.

 

Upon receiving these profiles, and having selected candidates that you think will be suitable for your role simply give us a call to discuss further information about their experience, availability for interview and also what date the candidates are available for work from.We will then arrange a mutually convenient time for you to either meet the candidate or conduct a phone screening with them.

 

Following interview, should any of the candidates suit your family then Careline will be happy to advance an offer of employment to them on your behalf. No carges are incurred until you successfully employ a nanny.

 

Advice is available to our clients as to the suitability of candidates, together with information relating to terms of employment, tax and NI contributions, contracts, and obligations as an employer.
