Safwan Hanash (Saf), is Partnership and Development Manager for Embark Learning and Fairway Healthcare which has helped more than 2000 people into jobs in the care sector.
Jobcentre Plus support for employers
Jobcentre Plus offers a variety of services to help employers with recruitment, including advice, assistance with advertising vacancies, and support for specific groups like those with disabilities or those needing extra help.
Saf finds Jobcentre Plus offers him the right kind of people to become healthcare professionals and has been instrumental in finding good quality candidates. "They understand what we’re about, they know our jobs, they know the training, they know the locations of where these vacancies are and they also have a good idea of the type of candidates that we’re looking for."
Once Jobcentre Plus has found Saf someone trustworthy, with a good attitude, social skills and the disposition for care work, the partnership trains and develops that candidate, starts them off with regular work in a care setting and that puts them into a strong position to secure a permanent contract with one of the care homes that they are working with in the West Midlands area.
It’s a recipe for success that’s worked time and time again.
