Carer Recruitment Drive Launched

Glasgow City Council, as part of the city's Health and Social Care Partnership (HSCP), is creating around 200 new posts to cover vital home care, residential care and day care responsibilities.

Councillor Mhairi Hunter, who serves on the Glasgow City Health and Social Care Integration Joint Board, said: "Throughout the Covid-19 crisis the valuable and important role of carers has been highlighted. I'm delighted we're now in a position to recruit and train staff for these varied, front-line care roles and to offer jobs to people seeking employment."
