The social care sector is facing a growing recruitment crisis. According to , 71.9% of care providers say recruitment has become more difficult post-lockdown, while 82.8% report that traditional recruitment costs continue to rise. Meanwhile, Skills for Care reports there are 131,000 vacancies across England鈥檚 adult social care sector, an 8.3% vacancy rate and a 24.2% turnover rate, highlighting the ongoing workforce challenges.
Financial pressures are mounting too. The notes that 90% of care providers are struggling with rising workforce costs, and 95% are deeply concerned about the impact of National Living Wage increases. Alarmingly, one-third of providers are considering leaving the sector entirely, a move which l says could leave 275,000 people without access to the care they need.
In response to these mounting challenges, we鈥檙e proud to launch Resourcing+ a new service from Quality Care Recruit, created to help care providers reduce both the time and cost of recruitment.
With Resourcing+, you can recruit quality Carers and Support Staff without the usual high agency fees. A typical recruitment agency charges at least 10% of a carer鈥檚 salary or a flat fee of 拢1,000 per role, often with additional placement charges. By contrast, Resourcing+ offers a one-off fee of just 拢299, with no placement fees whatsoever, and the option to add job board sponsorship at your discretion.
That鈥檚 a saving of at least 80% on recruitment costs for frontline care staff.
Recruitment in the care sector shouldn鈥檛 be this costly or time-consuming. Resourcing+ delivers a simpler, smarter, and more affordable solution 鈥 tailored for today鈥檚 care providers.
With no placement fees and huge savings on each role, now鈥檚 the time to change how you recruit. Speak to our team today to find out how Resourcing+ can help you build a stronger, more sustainable workforce.
