MOPEDS HELP SOLVE THE CARE CRISIS Service rated “GOOD” in every category Service rated “GOOD” in every category

by CQC December 2018

by CQC December 2018

Robyn Bamber, Holly Beddoe, Andy Boardman, Vanessa Collins & Sophie Emmerson

An innovative and forward-thinking home care provider has come up with a creative solution that could help ease the care crisis in the North West.

With the sector facing a daunting shortage of approximately 105,000* workers nationally (*Skills for Care), Alcedo Care Group is trialling a new initiative and has invested more than £20,000 in five new mopeds for employees to use during work hours.

More than 50% of applicants received recently for new jobs with the fast-growing care Whathave our been Clients Say:non-drivers. By company from Whatthe ourmopeds, ClientsAlcedo Say: Care is able to purchasing “ Excellent quality ofhave care.otherwise been recruit people it would not Excellent quality able “ to, allowing the firmof tocare. achieve its goal of Good time keeping with helpful, recruiting 100 people per month during 2022.

Good time keeping with helpful, lovely Staff. to undertake Alcedofriendly Care willand pay for employees friendly and lovely Staff. the nationally recognised course, ensuring Cost effective careCBT package”. they are compliant and legally able to drive Cost effective care package”.

EW the mopeds. It will also provide comprehensive EW insurance and full safety equipment to ensure they are fully protected when using the mopeds to visit clients.

Furthermore, Alcedo Care has significantly increased its starting salary for carers, which ultimately makes a career in care much more appealing for those already working in the

sector, but more importantly, for those who perhaps work in hospitality or retail.

With increased pay, full training provided and now free transport available, Alcedo Care hopes to attract people outside of the sector into care, reducing staff shortages and playing its part in solving the care crisis.

Andy Boardman, Managing Director at Alcedo Care Group, comments: “This is a pilot scheme for Alcedo Care, but we really do believe the mopeds will help with our recruitment drive throughout 2022. With plans to employ 1000 people and having noticed that more than half of all applicants were non-drivers, we needed to come up with a viable solution that helps our team get around to our clients.

“The mopeds, combined with our comprehensive training programme and increased pay, means we no longer need to focus on solely recruiting people from within the care sector. Our offer will appeal to those in all sectors, such as hospitality, and by doing so, we are helping to ease some of the staff shortages in the North West.”

If the pilot scheme works well, Alcedo has made a commitment to purchasing many more mopeds, ensuring there are between 10 to 20 vehicles located at each of Alcedo Care’s 11 offices across the region.

Care, Support Support and and Nursing Nursing at at Home Home Care,
