About Us

We work in partnership with stakeholders to ensure reliable coverage of block-book shifts, cancellations, and ad hoc shifts.

Our Journey

LD Network began its journey in 2016, offering staffing solutions to organisations supporting people with multiple needs in complex situations who require proactive, humanised support.

Providing Urgent Community Transition Services and Crisis Support

Our community transition support carefully bridges the gap between hospital settings and care at home. We offer urgent wrap-around support to healthcare providers, ensuring people get the right care tailored to their unique needs. Through solid partnerships based on trust, reliability, and consistency, we help people transition smoothly to local community support.

Compassion

We act with kindness and empathy, ensuring that everyone we support and each other feels valued and respected. We listen, understand, and stand by people through every challenge.

Impact

We take ownership of our results, continually improving lives and creating a meaningful impact on people’s lives. Every action we take is driven by our commitment to positive change.

Community

We foster a culture of belonging, building trust, and collaborating effectively to add value to the community. Together, we create spaces where everyone feels safe, included, and empowered.

How Can We Support You

LD Network provides proactive staffing solutions in various care settings, including supported living, hospitals, and residential homes within the private and public care sector.

Our team always goes the extra mile to fulfil urgent shift coverage and ensure your needs as a healthcare provider are met. Whether the agreement is long-term or short-term, you will be able to continue to deliver consistency of care and focus on what you do best providing compassionate and effective care 

By ensuring our clinician’s needs are met, they always exceed expectations and provide care focused on positive outcomes. Therefore, we implement well-being checks and provide a field care coach to support our clinicians on care sites to ensure they feel valued and guided.
