We are very pleased to announce that ENS are now official members of The Care Workers Charity. Their vision is to promote the financial, professional and mental wellbeing of care workers. In 2020 they paid out almost £2million in Covid-19 Emergency Fund grants and over £200k in Crisis Grants to over 3,000 care workers in need.

We are supporting the charity by taking part in their ‘£500 Fundraiser’. Our very own Barry Jacobs, from our Care and Support division, has been growing his beard since November 2022 and will continue to until 31^st January 2023. We will be taking regular photos of Barry’s beard progress so make sure you’re following our socials for updates.

If you would like to make a donation, you can find our fundraising page here: https://thecareworkerscharity.enthuse.com/pf/barry-jacobs

Below we have put together some frequently asked questions that may be able to help with yourself, a family member, a friend or a colleague:

Are you going through a difficult time such as illness or injury, a housing crisis, or bereavement?

The Care Workers Charity awards Crisis Grants during those unexpected or sudden life events that cause financial strain. The CWC may be able to support you with a one-off grant.

Are you suffering with stress, depression, anxiety, bereavement, financial problems, or PTSD?

The Care Workers Charity will pay for you to receive 10 sessions with a qualified therapist from an accredited mental health specialist provider.

Would you like some tips and advice to support your Mental Health and Wellbeing?

The CWC website is a great space to read up on other support and resources available to you. This ranges from Money & Debt advice, Mental Health helplines, Mindfulness techniques and guides to help with stress.

How can I get involved with fundraising for such a great cause?

There are many ways that you can help the CWC. You can donate directly to the charity, create your very own fundraiser or even volunteer your time.

What people are saying about ENS

ENS has been our sole agency provider for the past 8 years. During this time we have worked in partnership to establish an agency service that provides us with the assurance that ENS staff are flexible, highly trained and able to adapt to our working environment across all of our diverse services.
ENS has been able to support our services to a very high standard throughout our geographical locations. Key Performance Indicators often exceed agreed outcomes.
Our relationship with their senior team and operational supervisors is professional and open. We are assured that our long standing working relationship with ENS will continue.
To this end we would not hesitate to recommend ENS as an agency provider to support their organisation.

We needed to fill two last minute vacancies with high quality teachers. With this brief, Julie from ENS did not disappoint. One candidate was from Canada and Julie ensured that the move over went as smoothly as possible both for the teacher and the school.
What impressed me the most was how Julie listened to exactly what I required and so no time was wasted on my part, sifting through candidates who would not have been good enough for my school. I would highly recommend ENS to another school looking to fill their teacher vacancies.

My daughter Lynda has enjoyed 24 hour care provided by ENS since July 2013. The care staff are all well trained & briefed as to her complex healthcare regime & are also very sociable. This is very important to Lynda who loves to talk &interact with them. They also manage her household budget, encourage her to participate in domestic tasks within her capabilities, & promote a healthy lifestyle. The administration of ENS is excellent & has ensured that Lynda has a regular rota of carers & that when stand ins are necessary that they have had shadow shifts with her.

I would like to take this opportunity to thank you for the hard work and support you have offered our Foyer and Parent and Child Scheme in managing the placement of temporary staff.
We appreciate the level of consistency and continuity your staff have bought to the schemes and would not hesitate in recommending the services of ENS Recruitment.
