Edinburgh-based Novacare has launched a project – approved for funding via Scottish Enterprise – to support the care industry with the recruitment and retention of staff in preparation for Brexit and the festive season.

The firm, a service-provider for the care sector that aims to tackle some of its main issues, said the initiative looks to “identify and address workforce issues in light of the ever-changing EU/Brexit environment”. The project is available to all Scotland-based care providers.

Novacare also cited research showing that 80 per cent of care companies are concerned about how Brexit will affect their workforce.
