The caregiver shortage often stems from agency hiring issues. Improve your job descriptions, speed up hiring timelines, and engage regularly with potential hires to reduce turnover. #Caregiver #HiringTips #HomeCare #Recruitment #Healthcare #EmployeeEngagement #StaffRetention #AgencyGrowth #HRStrategies #WorkforceDevelopment  #Homecareagency

The amount of stubbornness I’m seeing around care companies not willing to call people who have applied for a care role is really baffling me. Do you have any idea how lucky you are that even 1 person wants to work for you? The fact you won’t pick up the phone and speak to people straight away will always confuse me. There’s 144,000 care vacancies in the UK today. Around 450,000 in 10 years. If we don’t stop treating care like a throw away industry then we’re screwed. #CareRecruitment #Retention

Previous experience is no guarantee of success. I've screened a number of candidates who look to move companies when they should leave the care industry. The main reasons were that the industry doesn't meet their requirements (e.g. flex working pattern) or, they were not suited to the work (although in some cases a move from residential to community support work can resolve the need for flex work). For entry level positions it's more about the individual character, ability and interest of the individual provided it is backed by decent induction and training. For experienced hires (and provided they can't promote from within} then there could be valid reasons for asking for previous experience. As long as we understand why the criteria is set and explored the possibility of flexing the spec then we've done what we can. We also need to be mindful that care work is still perceived as unattractive, easy to get into and unskilled. It's not a job for everyone and we need to balance the needs for quantity and quality.

The Power of Social Support Systems in Enhancing Caregiver Well-being As healthcare professionals, we often focus on the well-being of our patients, sometimes overlooking the vital role that social support plays in our own lives, especially for those of us in caregiving roles. Having spent years as a GP, I've seen firsthand how the demands of caregiving can take a toll on personal health and professional efficacy Why Social Support Matters Social support systems for caregivers are not just beneficial; they are essential. They provide a buffer against the stress associated with long hours and the emotional tolls of healthcare roles. Studies show that caregivers with robust social support experience lower levels of stress and higher job satisfaction. This not only helps in maintaining mental health but also enhances the quality of care provided to patients. My Personal Experience During the peak of my career, juggling patient needs and administrative duties left little room for self-care until I connected with a support group. This network was instrumental in reshaping my approach to work and life. The shared experiences, advice, and emotional backing from peers helped me navigate through tough times, making me a more effective and empathetic practitioner. Building Effective Support Networks Creating effective support networks involves more than just occasional meet-ups or online chats. It requires a commitment to ongoing engagement and open communication. Hospitals and healthcare facilities need to encourage these networks, providing platforms for sharing and growth. Regular workshops, peer-group meetings, and wellness programs can form the backbone of these support systems. How We Can Help As service providers, we understand the nuances of these challenges. Our team is dedicated to supporting healthcare professionals not just survive, but thrive in their roles. We offer resources and programs tailored specifically for caregivers to ensure they have the support they need. 📢 We Want to Hear from You!

"...these (caregivers) are probably going to be some of your best candidates because they've been thrown into the fire. They figured it out, and they came out like a champion. Now they're sitting in front of you saying, I'm ready to work. " It is true. #Caregivers can make some of your best candidates for jobs. Christina Keys went from career woman to caregiver when her mother had a life changing stroke in 2013. She cared for her for 10 years. Turning a mess into a message, she is now a National Speaker and Advocate as well as the Founder and CEO of Keys for Caregiving where she is connecting businesses and Family Caregivers to collectively transform the Care Space community and amplify our voices for change. Selma Archer, Esq., MBA and I were honored to interview her for our "Stories From Real Working Caregivers"  piece of our newsletter and website. Please read the entire interview here: https://lnkd.in/emHngbRr "If you looked at my resume today on LinkedIn, you'd see that I proudly display “family caregiver.” Because the skills I learned as a family caregiver….my research skills...(are) better than any job I was at. ....... …..As a family caregiver, you are doing med management, case management, you're managing the caregivers that are there. So, you're a leader there too. You're a manager there too…. But you're also doing it in a high stress situation. Why would you not want to put that down? They're going to make an even better candidate than they could possibly be. Because they've gone through things that have been highly emotional, highly stressful. They had to learn things without being… taught anything. They had to learn on the go. " #caringconvos #employer #hiring #workingcaregiver #hr #managers

The demand for skilled and dependable caregivers is higher than ever, yet finding and retaining top-quality candidates has become increasingly challenging. With a competitive job market, limited pools of qualified candidates, and high turnover rates, it’s crucial for agencies and families to adopt efficient hiring strategies. Building a strong digital presence is an essential step in this process, helping attract a steady stream of qualified caregiver leads. https://lnkd.in/guFCxT-w #Hospice #HomeCare #SeniorLiving #Healthcare #CareWebsites #DigitalMarketing #GrowthStrategy #CaregiverAnd #RAISEcaregiving #WebsiteDevelopment #OnlineMarketing
