It takes on average 16 weeks after a care worker or health professional is offered a job before they start work*. It takes that long, regardless of whether the worker has 10 years of experience or none. This is due to all the necessary checks needed to ensure workers are compliant and validated, including DBS, Right to work, employment history, references and training. Many of these checks are repeated unnecessarily each time an employee engages a new employer, all because there is no portability of records.

This lengthy process has huge cost implications to care providers and the NHS. It also means care workers and health professionals start work later than planned, leaving them out of pocket and frustrated.  In fact, it’s not uncommon for people to be selected for a job in Health and Social Care, and never start!

We recognised that if we speed up this recruitment process, it will have a positive impact on everyone in the sector. We are developing a platform that does just that, and it’s called ME.

ME is a digital compliance passport for workers. Workers own a ME passport containing all the compliance details they need to be WORK READY. Employers can check the compliance status of these potential employees, as well as better manage the compliance of their entire workforce.

Benefits to the sector
- Increased capacity in the market
- A faster, more efficient recruitment process
- Greater accuracy on all compliance information held
- A safe, secure system that can be accessed anywhere
- A reduction on unnecessary paperwork

ME will not only reduce time, money and stress for care providers, empower workers by giving them more opportunities and choice but it will also mean that some of the most vulnerable people in society, will have the best available carers at their fingertips.
