You already know the problem... but did you know how rapidly it is deteriorating?
-
Greater competition for workers from inside and outside the care sector
-
Loss of migrant workers
-
Poor public image of care work
-
Low pay, unsocial hours, emotionally and physically challenging work
-
Covid impacts - burnt out workforce, mandatory vaccinations etc.
Designed specifically for in-house social care recruiters
I created this Masterclass Course in 2018 as a paid course but shortly after, I founded Care Friends, the employee referral app for social care, and got too busy to sell the course widely.
Fast forward to 2021 and the worst recruitment crisis in my memory is hitting the sector.
Given that, I want this resource to be available to help as many care providers as possible, so now it is free access for all.
