Sunrise Senior Living

The Challenge

Sunrise Senior Living, a growing network of Care Homes across the UK, needed to open a new site within a fixed 3-month window and fill both clinical and administrative roles in time for launch. With an overloaded in-house recruitment function and a hard deadline, we assisted with the sourcing, interviewing and offer management.

The Approach

We ran the engagement as a flexible bespoke project, a fixed-price, full-time commitment over 3 months, scoped entirely around the new site opening.

We built role scoping templates for clinical and non-clinical positions, a consistent candidate screening framework, and structured interview scorecards used across every role in the project. Employer brand and candidate communications were written and run in Sunrise Senior Living's own voice, market mapping identified where suitable candidates were most likely to be found, and dedicated capacity meant hiring moved at the pace the launch demanded.

The Outcome

Within the 3-month window, Sunrise filled 5 roles ahead of the new site's opening date, including 3 nurses and 2 administrators, delivered through a single point of accountability rather than multiple disconnected agencies.
