A North Yorkshire care provider has praised the partnership overseas care workers have formed with existing staff to provide vital care for vulnerable adults.
Saint Cecilia’s Care Group has employed 32 staff from India, Zimbabwe, Ghana and Nigeria in the last year.
And Mike Padgham, the Scarborough-based Group’s Managing Director, says:
“We are blessed to have excellent staff across Saint Cecilia’s and the way our overseas recruits have fitted in and the welcome they have received has bowled us over,”
“We were in dire need of staff to cope with shortages and together with our existing staff they have all literally ensured that we were able to keep on delivering care.”
He was speaking out after the Government announced measures that might reduce the number of overseas workers who come to work in this country – including a ban on overseas staff bringing dependents.
Mr Padgham added:
“We couldn’t have got through the past year without overseas staff joining the rest of our team. Apart from care, they have added cultural diversity, new personalities and fresh energy to our care centres.”
