Recruitment drive to keep the vulnerable safe

A variety of adult social care jobs available.

Leicestershire residents are being encouraged to help make a difference in their communities and support vulnerable people during the COVID-19 outbreak.

The Inspired to Care team has launched a campaign to recruit people in a variety of adult social care roles, in particular supporting people discharged from hospital back into the community, helping to free up beds for the NHS.

As well as recruiting for roles within the council, Inspired to Care, will be helping home care providers recruit staff so they are free to carry on providing vital services to the vulnerable and those in isolation.

Councillor Richard Blunt, cabinet member for adults social care said: "This is a challenging situation and we are doing everything we can to keep critical services going, particularly those supporting vulnerable people. 

“Home care support has never been so important and the roles on offer will give Leicestershire residents the opportunity to make a difference in their local communities, support the most vulnerable to stay safe and well at home, and earn money whilst carrying out a rewarding role."
