Award-winning care company expands into Liverpool

A MULTI-AWARD winning social enterprise is to create more than 60 new jobs, after being awarded a care contract in Liverpool.

CASA Liverpool, part of the Care and Share Associates Group, will be providing care for adults and children with complex care needs to allow them to remain in their own homes, after being appointed by Liverpool City Council.

And now the organisation is looking to recruit a number of carers – or people who would like to be trained to work in the profession to become part of the team.

CASA – which has branches across the North East, North West and in Yorkshire - is an award-winning, employee-owned social enterprise which re-invests profit into its workforce and service, by giving all employees free shares, a profit share and other employee benefits.

At the same time, profits are ploughed back into the company allowing it to invest more in staff development and training, meaning that all employees have a vested interest in the company, which has an ethos of “putting people before profit.”

CASA Liverpool is now embarking on a recruitment drive to find support workers and carers who will be involved in all aspects of personal care including supporting with health-related issues.

Experience in care is not essential as full training is given, CASA is more interested in people who have a caring nature and are committed to high standards of care. The company strongly promotes staff training and development and all new recruits are enrolled for formal qualifications with professional development and progression opportunities regularly available.

Managing Director, Dr Guy Turnbull, who is also one of CASA’s founders, said having a dedicated workforce was at the heart of the company’s success.

“What CASA has done is to find a way to tap into people’s natural creativity and commitment, by giving them a stake in their business and how it is operated to deliver high quality care,” he said.

“And we are hoping to bring together a dedicated workforce in Liverpool who can benefit from working for an organisation which cares as much about its employees as it does about the people it looks after.”

This is the latest in a long line of wins for CASA, which recently also launched a service in Doncaster to provide domiciliary care and follows on from its appointment last year to be a leading home care provider in Leeds.

CASA also has branches in Doncaster, Manchester, Leeds, Knowsley, Warrington, North Tyneside and Newcastle, along with a sister company based in Sunderland.

Mutuality is at the heart of CASA’s business, underpinned by the belief that engaged employee owners will provide highest quality care and low staff turnover, making the business more successful.

This innovative model of ownership and care was recognised last year by both the Great British Care Awards and EY, where CASA’s MD scooped two major national awards for Outstanding Contribution to Social Care and Social Entrepreneur of the Year.
