A CHARITY has launched a recruitment drive for care workers in Ross–shire, and new employees could be started within a week.
Community Integrated Care wants people from the Invergordon area to come forward to support people in their local community who have lost their jobs in response to the coronavirus outbreak.
The award-winning social care charity that operates in Invergordon is offering prompt start dates for carers working on the front line with people in their own homes.
Community Integrated Care supports people with learning disabilities, autism, mental health concerns or dementia with their daily routines.
A spokeswoman said candidates will be able to move from interview to paid work in a week.
During the first week a government-backed vetting check process will take place and prospective colleagues will undertake three days of intensive training.
To support the campaign, the charity has built a website where potential candidates can register their interest in opportunities at www.workincare.co.uk.
Teresa Exelby, chief people officer at Community Integrated Care said: “We know that at this difficult time, many people in our communities are seeking reliable work opportunities as a result of the impact of Coronavirus.
"At the same time, care providers like us more than ever need to find great people who can work in our front line services.”
She continued, “We’re excited to be welcoming hundreds of new colleagues to Community Integrated Care who will all be a fantastic addition to our teams across the country.”
Community Integrated Care was awarded the Charity of the Year 2019/20 at the Charity Times Awards. It supports more than 3,500 people across the country who have care and support needs, and employs 6,500 staff nationally.
Anyone interested can visit the website www.workincare.co.uk and request a call back for more information.
