Caring for the care sector

May 19, 2022

Before Covid-19, Elliot Scott Group were primarily recruitment specialists in the construction and aviation sectors, but that soon changed once the pandemic hit.

In December 2019, when the first case of Covid-19 arose, the world wasn’t even cautious nor concerned about what the future held; however, the start of 2020 bought many changes and distress to the core sectors that Elliot Scott Group successfully recruited for, for many years.

Healthcare assistants, hospital cleaners and nurses were soon to be the most sought-after occupation between March 2020 – 2021 due to Brexit and the pandemic, with an estimated 22,600 EU nationals leaving nurses positions alone. Fear not! Elliot Scott Group realigned their service offering and expertise and partnered with several local and national firms to recruit for these positions.

During the pandemic, Elliot Scott Group successfully placed over 500 temporary staff into multiple  positions across the United Kingdom and have since ensured those candidates have either moved on to new positions following a decrease in the demand for such roles or remain in contact to place them within another suitable vacancy.

The top positions recruited for both throughout and since the pandemic include:

  • Hospital Cleaner 
  • Linen Porter 
  • Kitchen Porter 
  • Patients Porter 
  • Catering Staff

Whilst life begins to return to somewhat normality, Elliot Scott Group would like to place on record their thanks to those candidates and the NHS for their support during the pandemic.
