Additional Provider Support

The Council is committed to supporting the market to deal with financial challenges and to reduce the costs for care providers. Care England and ECC are promoting a variety of initiatives to save your business money (for example free energy and water reviews, and free HR advice line), your carers money (Kwik Fit Club and reduced gym membership), as well as access to an Employee Assistance Programme.

These initiatives, and others, can be found via Care England’s website (https://www.careengland.org.uk/offers/) and Essex County Council’s Provider Hub (https://www.essexproviderhub.org/care-market-offers/)
