Neil Eastwood’s Online Care Recruitment Masterclass Course now free for care providers
With employers in Adult Social Care across the UK facing unprecedented challenges filling vacancies, Neil Eastwood has waived the enrolment fee permanently on a 120-lesson online video recruitment training course to support the sector. Care recruiters can access the course at here.
Neil explains: “In over 12 years as an observer of adult social care recruitment, I have never known the workforce pressures on employers to be this great – with further headwinds coming. Just before I came up with the concept of Care Friends in 2018, I finished filming a 120-lesson online masterclass for care recruiters. But I didn’t have much time to tell anyone about it before Care Friends demanded all my time.
I decided to waive the enrolment fee permanently in the hope that the practical tips and advice I have collected over many years can now go some way to helping struggling providers during this urgent and deepening social care recruitment crisis.”
