If you’re thinking about joining a care agency, one of the first things you should look for is whether they’re CQC registered. But what does that actually mean? And why should you care — especially if you’re a carer looking for flexible, local work?
At CareStaff24, we’re proud to say we’re officially registered with the Care Quality Commission (CQC). It’s more than just a badge — it represents our commitment to high standards, accountability, and most importantly, the wellbeing of the people we care for. Here’s what you need to know.
What Is the CQC?
The Care Quality Commission is the independent regulator of health and social care services in England. They monitor, inspect, and regulate care providers to ensure services are safe, effective, compassionate, and well-led.
Whether it’s a care home, hospital, or homecare service like ours, the CQC sets out the legal framework we must follow — and they regularly inspect us to make sure we meet those standards.
Why It Matters to You as a Carer
Choosing to work for a CQC-registered provider protects you as well as the people you care for. Here’s why:
- Training & Safety Standards: We provide proper training and guidance to help you deliver safe, competent care.
- Clear Procedures: From safeguarding to infection control — everything is done by the book.
- Accountability: If something ever goes wrong, there are clear protocols in place — and you’re supported.
- Reputation & Trust: Clients and families are more likely to work with CQC-regulated providers — which means more consistent work for you.
How the CQC Rates Providers
After inspections, providers are rated in five key areas:
- Safe
- Effective
- Caring
- Responsive to people’s needs
- Well-led
We take each of these pillars seriously and work hard to ensure our carers have the tools, time, and support to provide exceptional care.
CareStaff24’s Commitment to High Standards
We don’t just meet CQC expectations — we aim to exceed them. Every member of our care team receives ongoing training, regular check-ins, and real recognition for their work.
We believe that quality care starts with you — the carers, nurses, and support staff who show up with heart every day. That’s why we make sure our systems, paperwork, and support structures work for you, not against you.
