Another care provider on the hunt for extra workers

A home care specialist is the latest provider of this type of service to announce a drive to hire more staff.

Carefound Home Care, has launched a recruitment initiative across its offices in Yorkshire and Cheshire in response to the coronavirus.

The company has offices in Harrogate, North Yorkshire and Wilmslow, Cheshire East.

It is looking to recruit hourly visiting carers to support older people local to Harrogate and Wilmslow, and live-in carers to work on weekly rotations across the counties of Yorkshire and Cheshire.

Prior experience is not required as full training and support is provided.

Oliver Stirk, director at Carefound Home Care, said: “We know that this is a difficult time for many people, from those who are suddenly seeking employment to families who are desperately needing support as we try to reduce the burden on our NHS.

“Our local teams can offer compassionate people a range of hours and working patterns, with a great employment package and 24/7 support.

“We’re genuinely excited by the prospect of new colleagues joining our teams to make a real difference when it’s needed most.”
