CareJobFinder.org is an innovative, free service to help employers contact people actively looking for work in social care. The service is endorsed by Mental Health Providers Forum  and has been launched in time for a national television advertising campaign, funded by the Department of Health. CareJobFinder.org will appear prominently in the campaign’s materials and website.

Employers recruiting staff to work in a range of settings including  care homes, housing support services and social care services can register to use the service by visiting www.carejobfinder.org/join. When prospective recruits submit their details on-line, employers in the local area will receive an e-mail containing full contact details, a summary of previous experience and the recruit’s work preferences. Employers then have the option to contact prospective recruits directly and begin their normal recruitment processes.

CareJobFinder.org will also help employers identify prospective recruits for whom they can claim a £1,000 cash subsidy for providing work to younger unemployed people, under the Care First Careers scheme.
