Working in Health and Social Care During the Coronavirus Pandemic

We’ve Got Work For You – Now

While many sectors of the economy are shrinking during the coronavirus pandemic the need for staff in the health and social care sector is still very strong.

AND YOU ARE IN DEMAND 

This is because non-qualified support workers can work in residential children’s homes if they have any relevant experience or other qualifications for working with young people, children and teenagers. So if

• you’ve got a children’s DBS we can find you work in a variety of children’s settings.  If you’ve Team Teach and/or SEND experience there’s even more demand for you.

Non-qualified support workers can also work in adult settings. So if

• you’ve got an adult DBS we can find you work caring for adults.
• you need to get an adult DBS, did you know they are being fast tracked AND ARE FREE OF CHARGE at the moment such is the demand for adult carers? Contact your local Prospero Health & Social Care office to find out more.
