澳门六合彩资料 launches new HR services offering in health and social care

09 October 2024

澳门六合彩资料 is now supporting independent health and social care providers with their workforce challenges after launching a dedicated HR programme.

The UK and Ireland law firm will assist residential care homes, nursing homes, domiciliary care providers and hospices with its new HR services for health and social care scheme.

Its team of 20-plus HR consultants will work closely with the firm鈥檚 employment law specialists to provide advice on matters such as workforce planning, dealing with complex grievances and disciplinaries, managing allegations against staff, team restructures, organisational development, TUPE transfers and indemnities on outsourcing, and exit agreements.

Support also includes HR audits to ensure compliance with the Care Quality Commission (CQC), bespoke and off-the shelf-training for all levels of staff, and developing HR policies.

Emma Hughes, Partner and Head of HR Services, added: 鈥淥ur HR practice has proven to be a huge success in the education sector, where our team of consultants now support a large number of schools and school trusts in navigating both the day-to-day and more complex issues that arise in any organisation.

鈥淲e believe there鈥檚 huge potential to replicate this provision in the health and social care sector, where many of the same opportunities and challenges exist. We identified that a large proportion of care providers that typically have between one and 10 care homes experience a lack of specialist HR resource and therefore struggle with the vast array of people challenges.

鈥淩esponsibility usually falls upon registered managers, who are already stretched, and many of these providers experience greater workforce challenges as a result. By pooling our expertise, we can support these businesses in dealing with what is fast becoming one of society鈥檚 biggest issues due to the ageing population and acute shortages in the care workforce.鈥

Laura Chinyere-Ezeh has joined as HR Consultant in Health and Social Care to lead the new service. With more than a decade of experience as an HR generalist, Laura brings expertise in CQC-regulated environments.

Prior to joining 澳门六合彩资料, she was an HR business partner at Ramsay Healthcare, and was part of senior leadership teams for three neurological rehabilitation centres鈥 clinical support functions for acute care and central corporate teams.

She has also held several HR management positions, including with a domiciliary care provider for local authorities.

Laura said: 鈥淚t is a brilliant time to be joining 澳门六合彩资料 as the firm continues to grow its clients, teams and services, proving that the expertise in law firms goes far beyond legal advice into various other practical and strategic matters.

鈥淭he health and social care sector is experiencing a lot of change right now, with retention and recruitment among its greatest challenges. By thinking outside the box, employers can showcase the rewarding nature of working in this sector and ensure they have a sustainable supply of talent to meet future demands.

鈥淚 am highly motivated to make health and social care providers a place where all can achieve their potential, staff and service users alike.鈥

澳门六合彩资料鈥檚 growing health and life sciences team works with more than 300 independent healthcare businesses every year and has provided training to more than 14,000 health and social care professionals.
