Safer recruitment
Familiar faces
Clear, inclusive rates
Our local team takes time to understand the setting, the role and the people being supported before offering a worker.
Urgent today? Call 01452 222 220 — our bookings and out-of-hours team is available 24/7.
Urgent and last-minute cover
Responsive support for sickness, absence and unexpected rota gaps, including outside normal office hours.
Planned and ongoing requirements
We offer you additional capacity for holidays, vacancies, difficult shift patterns, new services and regular requirements.
A dependable backup option
You do not need to replace your existing bank or preferred agency. Establishing Take Five as an approved contingency supplier gives you another local option when usual arrangements are stretched.
Open a contingency account
What's a contingency account? It means we're set up as an approved supplier before you need us - account opened, terms agreed, compliance checks done. So when a shift falls through at short notice, you can call and we can act straight away rather than starting paperwork.

“Thank you for the stunning support, we are very grateful. Your team are fantastic and a credit to you.”
The Hollies
“I’ve been using Take five for over four years, and my experience has consistently been excellent. The staff are professional, compassionate, and genuinely committed to providing high‑quality care. Communication has always been clear and timely, and any questions or concerns have been handled quickly and respectfully.
What I appreciate most is the continuity and reliability of the service. The Staff take the time to understand individual & the service needs, and they treat Individuals with dignity, patience, and kindness. It’s rare to find an agency that maintains such a high standard over several years, but Take five truly does.
I’m grateful for the support Teresa, Carole, Lily, Steve & Daisy they’ve provided and would confidently recommend them to anyone looking for dependable, person‑centered healthcare agency.“

Horsfall House
“We reached out to Take Five when we were struggling to fill a key role, and they really came through for us. Their temp-to-perm option made the process incredibly smooth from start to finish. Being able to meet the carers beforehand meant we could ensure the perfect fit for both the role and our home. Take Five took the time to understand exactly what we needed — and delivered. We’re really grateful and will definitely be using their temp-to-perm service again.”
