This fund is to enable you to pay your staff a retention bonus during the period to 31 March 2024. The Council will reimburse you up to a maximum of £300 per care worker. This is seen as an interim solution while longer-term programmes to drive structural changes to the care market are put in place.
This fund has been implemented to allow your care staff to be paid (at their hourly rate, up to a maximum of £15 per hour) to attend training courses organised by the Council’s Provider Quality Innovation Team.
