Resourcing+: Transforming Recruitment in the Social Care Sector

Recruitment

The social care sector is facing a growing recruitment crisis. According to Care Home Professional, 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’s 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 Homecare Association 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 Care Home Professional says could leave 275,000 people without access to the care they need.

Introducing Resourcing+

In response to these mounting challenges, we’re 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’s salary or a flat fee of £1,000 per role, often with additional placement charges. By contrast, Resourcing+ offers a one-off fee of just £299, with no placement fees whatsoever, and the option to add job board sponsorship at your discretion.

That’s a saving of at least 80% on recruitment costs for frontline care staff.

Key Features
  • Smart Candidate Matching: Our platform connects you with relevant candidates based on location, experience, and availability – helping you hire the right people, faster.
