Personalisation.

Our government in the UK have implemented a great idea to allow individual who need assistance to have the money directly, they can then choose what service they Purchase. Giving the individual the autonomy to make their own decisions about their personal needs, ie care if dissabled, mental health issues, learning dissabilities and just general social skills.

So as an organisation we provide specialist social care to these individuals via gov contracts, this is changing.

So imagin the situaltion.

David has a Minor Mental Health issue and wants assistance with social skills, ie taking him to watch his local football team each week, too the pub or just shopping.

At the moment our Support Worker provide this service and therefore we recruit, undertake security checks and provide employment contracts and HR.

Going forward David becomes the Employer. So I could just stick in here" discuss "but thought i would narrow this down.

The plan is as the individual only need services 2-4 hours at a time, that we as an organisation recruit vast amounts of casual workers, we screen, and then David pays us but, as and when he needs. We then have hundreds of people like David and thus build up a whole new style of workforce.

I would appreciart any help or discussion from a recruitment point of view from any one who has done something similar before.

Kind Regards
