The complexity of managing a multi-site business can be challenging. Maintaining central oversight of processes, costs and standards while giving local managers the freedom to run things their way is a delicate balance.
Add in staff shortages, mandatory compliance checks, CQC inspections and sensitively handling admissions and it is clear that the care sector comes with a unique admin burden.
That’s where Plainly comes in.
With simple implementation and ongoing support, our easy to use platform lets care providers simplify their huge admin burden; saving significant time and costs while also reducing risk.
Read how Orchard Care Homes cut time-to-hire from weeks to days by empowering homes to manage their own recruiting while improving central reporting and oversight.
The care sector has a recruitment crisis - there are simply too few candidates and too many vacancies. Care providers are competing for candidates, not just with other providers, but every other employer with vacancies to fill. Added to that, there are a host of care-specific compliance steps that providers must complete before employing someone. These slow everything down and make roles even harder to fill.
Plainly lets you digitise and automate your entire recruitment and employee-onboarding process, dramatically speeding up your time to hire while ensuring that all compliance steps are completed correctly. Learn more about our recruitment solution.
