Councils across the capital have joined forces to make it easier for people with essential care skills, including care workers, care managers, social workers, occupational therapists, chefs and cleaners, to find jobs in the care sector through the Proud to Care London website.

Cllr Ray Puddifoot, London Councils’ Executive Member for Health & Care, said: “I’m proud of the vital role that care workers across London have played in supporting our most vulnerable residents at this hugely challenging time, and these frontline workers will become even more critical in the weeks ahead.

“By urgently recruiting more people to the sector, councils in London are taking action to ensure they can keep giving the right care and support to the growing number of people who need it.

“If you’re looking for work and can fill one of these roles, make sure you register with Proud to Care London – you really could help protect the NHS and save lives in your community.”
