There was a “variation” in the amount the council pays providers

Nottinghamshire County Council plans to give more pay rises to homecare staff to bring sustainability to its “fragile” recruitment in the sector.

It says the recent surveys were held to get a “better picture” of the local care market ahead of planned Government reforms. “But they also told us that – for homecare and supported living – it’s really quite fragile because of workforce pressures. The aim was to encourage more of the 24,000-strong workforce to remain in the sector amid a then-30 per cent turnover rate.

“They want to stay in their home for as long as possible but, if they don’t have a home, they want somewhere they can recognise as their own front door.”
