Abicare is working hard to try and give free training and 100 jobs to those who are coming from Ukraine. They are also doing this for those who want to live and work within the UK. If you are seeking mental health jobs, or work in private nursing and homecare then this is very good as the NHS is short-staffed and it means that you can get the training you need. Abicare work to offer bespoke care packages as well as support to social workers, which is very good if you want to work in this kind of sector. The jobs are going to be offered in Salisbury, Swindon, Bradford-on-Avon, Basingstoke and even Wales. Live-in care jobs are also available across the entire country.
Refugees do not need to have a lot of care experience for the role and Abicare is going to pay for all of the training. They are also going to shadow any placements that are successful while doing a DBS check to ensure that everything is in order as it should be.
Abicare has come out to say that they are angry about the Russian invasion and that is why they are working so hard with the local authorities. They are trying to make sure that accommodation is being given to those who are applying for the jobs. They are also looking into live-in care which means that the refugee is going to be staying in the home of the client during their rota, or their stay.
Everyone is saddened to hear about the situation but at the end of the day, something has to change. That is why UK companies are doing what they can to support those who truly need it, while also working with refugees to give them new opportunities.
