Scheme to get young people into care jobs launched

Employers who recruit unemployed young people into care jobs may receive a £1,000 bonus from the government, the care services minister has announced.

Phil Hope said that the Care First Careers scheme was the first stage of the government's guarantee of a job offer for young people who have been searching for work for more than six months.

He added that he hoped it would encourage more people to look into applying for care jobs which were "rewarding".

"For the first time we have more over-65s than under-18s. The government is planning a new National Care Service to meet the growing demand for adult care - we need to get the next generation of care staff in place now," he added.

The government have promised that some 100,000 struggling young people will benefit from the jobs guarantee.

Businesses everywhere have been called upon to make room for young recruits and apprentices.
