Care Job Search feature now live

This month we announce further developments to our website that can prove of particular benefit both to care and nursing staff and to their employers, having introduced a new website feature that allows care providers to post advertisements for jobs vacancies.

Easily accessed via our home page, or by following this link www.carehome.co.uk/jobs/, our new UK Care Job Search page has been set up to enable the swift and simple adding of care-related positions that become available, regularly updated for potential employees who are eager to locate job opportunities.

As carehome.co.uk users will be familiar with, we have set up the new feature to enable easy and convenient job searches by category, including Managers, Carers, Nurses, Trainers, Domestic, Office and Catering. While searches can be localised to individual counties, making the feature equally useful for service users in remote areas as for those in Central London, as well as being exclusive to selective sectors, such as Care Homes, Hospitals, Hospices, Sheltered Housing and Social Services, for example.

The Job Search also lists positions submitted by the UK’s leading recruitment agencies, including Reed Nurse and potentially more than 100 others who have easy access to the Care Job Search via their carehome.co.uk Marketing Report. Posting jobs is completely free for both care homes and recruitment agencies, as is the viewing of them (no need to register).

Creating the Jobs Search page, company director Oli Blackwell referred to its inclusion as ‘Completing the all-round efficacy of carehome.co.uk, as an Internet resource that brings together all of the care-related information that employees, managers, health professionals and service users would desire to have at their fingertips in an easy-to-use application’.

Those who follow UK care sector news will be aware that the next few years are likely to see many crucial developments affecting the future of long-term care funding for an ageing population, such as those announced this week by Health Secretary Andrew Lansley. Our aim as a leading web resource is to continue to offer access to in-depth and up-to-date care-related information, supporting employers, regulatory authorities and campaigners in their work, while proving equally as useful to care workers and people with care needs or loved ones who depend upon the sector.
