MT Supported Living challenges the society’s perception on disabilities by creating a supportive environment. Their diverse care packages, which include supported living, domiciliary care, and housing & individual support, are all designed to create person-centred care. But while their vision is cloaked with good intentions, one problem kept them from achieving their goals: STAFF SHORTAGE.
There are a lot of work out there, but, unfortunately, the work cannot be covered. Like other care providers, they tried everything to get more carers into their business. Paid job boards, open days, job centres, agencies—name it and they most probably tried it. Adding to the scarcity of carers is the growing number of care providers, making the competition even stronger. Because there are a lot of care businesses, carers go from one provider to another in just a few months, dipping staff retention rate to its lowest.
All these changed when a friend of Marvelous Ford, registered manager of MT Supported Living, excitedly talked about her experience with IANS. Through IANS, her friend got her sponsor license, and she was able to recruit internationally.
Curious, Marvelous reached out to IANS’ team and never looked back after that call. In her recent interview, she told us:
“I called IANS after working hours. I didn’t expect that they’d pick up, but they did. This shows the level of commitment and support they give their clients. After that phone call, I knew that IANS is an expert. They know the language and they know what they're talking about. Each one of their team, they know what they’re doing, and they’re speedy. In just 2 days, I got 11 candidates. I was amazed because they’re all very good. From the interview, the time, and the candidates, IANS made sure everything was properly in place. There was no issue at all. Because of IANS, I know I can do so much more.”
