Care agency urges people to volunteer for care jobs now
| Published: 3rd April 2020 13:14 |
PEOPLE from Wales who have been made redundant from hospitality or retail positions or whose businesses have been closed due to the Coronavirus are being urged to re-train as carers (April, 2020).
ISS Healthcare is urgently seeking care staff to look after the vulnerable and elderly across the country.
Caroline Jones, Regional Manager at ISS Healthcare, which has offices at Torfaen Business Centre in Torfaen and provides care in the surrounding areas, said: “There are currently lots of people at home who have been made redundant from their jobs or have had their business close, who are fit and healthy and may be worrying about where their next pay cheque is going to come from.
“We’re urging those people to get in touch with us now and consider re-training as a carer during these very uncertain times. There are lots of customer-facing roles such as those in hospitality and retail industries where skills can be easily transferred to care work.
“Our carers are frontline staff and we’re bracing ourselves and we need more staff to urgently boost our numbers. We can provide full, free training on a fast-track basis to enable people to get out into the working world as quickly as possible.
“Thanks to modern technology we are able to conduct interviews via FaceTime and Skype for speed and to ensure people don’t leave their homes unnecessarily. We could receive a person’s application and have them on a FaceTime call the same day. The Government has also taken steps to ensure a quicker turnaround on DBS checks, so we can get people into work even quicker.”
People can call ISS Healthcare on 01495 759977 or leave a message on its Facebook page at https://bit.ly/345tgvU. Alternatively, people can apply for positions via Indeed at https://indeedhi.re/2JBKAiU.
