ENS Care & Support Community Support Worker, Rachel Holloway, stars in new Essex Care Campaign

Posted: 30th September 2021

The demand for support staff continues to rise, and by 2035 the social care sector in England will need an additional 500,000 talented care staff. As a result, Essex County Council has launched a brand-new recruitment campaign to inspire a new generation of carers.

Adult social care workers can be based in the community, in care homes, hospitals or people’s homes. Tasks can include supporting people to participate in social activities in the community and helping with personal care, such as getting dressed or cooking meals. All roles are designed to provide personal and practical support to help people live independently. Carers can support older people and those with mental or physical conditions.

“To know you are making a difference to people’s lives whilst also enriching your own life, is the most rewarding thing.”

At the heart of this campaign is Rachel Holloway, one of our wonderful ENS Care & Support Community Support Workers. Although she had always been a kind and caring individual, she only realised her passion for helping others when she moved in to support a loved one.

Starting a career in care was the best decision Rachel ever made. Her confidence and passion have grown since working in the sector, and she looks forward to every shift as no two days are ever the same.

“If you’re considering a career in adult social care, but you’re concerned that you don’t have the relevant qualifications, then please don’t let that put you off. You’ll get on the job training. You just need natural passion and an attitude for caring! Don’t stand on the edge of the diving board but jump right in!”

It’s been a fantastic opportunity to work with Essex County Council and Rachel on this new campaign. Our thanks go out to the incredible teams involved, and Rachel for her time and passion.

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.
