In collaboration with In2Care Kirklees, we utilise a community-based partner tailored to address our local recruitment needs. This strategy not only enhances our social hiring initiatives but also helps us attract talent to our business despite the economic challenges and other influencing factors in the region. Read more about our partnership in this month’s blog.
How In2Care Helps Cygnet
In2Care is a small but dedicated team within Kirklees Council that has developed an innovative approach to recruitment in the care sector. They recognise the barriers individuals face when trying to enter this field and are committed to making a difference. Their goal is to support people by understanding their needs and helping them find jobs efficiently and effectively. Their services are continually expanding, always keeping the needs of employers like us at the forefront of their efforts.
How In2Care Helps Job Seekers
You might be considering a care job, but finding the right position can feel overwhelming. You spend a lot of time searching, completing various application forms, or sending out CVs, only to hear nothing or discover that employers can’t meet your needs.
This is where In2Care can help!
They understand that finding a role that fits can be difficult, frustrating and time consuming. They can provide one on one support to you to find roles that are tailored to your requirements, whether that be location, the hours that you can do and specific shift patterns. They are in contact with a wide range of care providers, such as social care, residential care, domiciliary care, specialist care services and more, and are also there to offer some friendly advice or guidance.
How In2Care and Cygnet Partner
In2Care offers an excellent employer service that supports Cygnet in recruiting the best talent. They collaborate closely with us to understand our priorities and the challenges we face, helping us to identify the right staff for our business. Utilising their services gives us access to a diverse and dedicated workforce, all from the Kirklees local community. Partnering with In2Care enables us to fulfil our corporate social responsibility (CSR) commitments, resulting in better staff retention rates and improved outcomes.
As our Senior Recruitment Consultant, Laura can attest:
“Working in health and social care recruitment has its challenges. Many candidates may feel nervous about transitioning into the sector or may not know where to find roles that match their skill sets. As a senior recruitment consultant, I believe it’s crucial to collaborate with local initiatives and programs that help attract individuals to health and social care and guide them toward a lifelong career…”
“Partnering with In2Care provides Cygnet the opportunity to connect with candidates located in our local area who might not have otherwise discovered our vacancies. Each step of their process is carefully designed and delivered in a supportive and inclusive manner, reflecting Cygnet’s inclusivity and, our values of; care, trust, integrity, respect, and empowerment….”
“…The team at In2care support both Cygnet and the candidates throughout this journey, and they are always genuinely excited to hear about positive outcomes from interviews.”
“So far, we have successfully hired seven candidates from the region through In2Care, and we hope to continue this trend in the future.”
