The county council hopes a new website will help solve the crisis in carer recruitment in Norfolk.
Sarah Thompson runs Extra Care Home Services in North Walsham. She says struggling to recruit carers but told BBC Radio Norfolk’s Nick Conrad is an “incredibly rewarding job”.
“We want to get more people into the care profession, especially younger people as there’s progression within the role,” she said.
Sarah thinks the online campaign will make a difference and help a lot of people looking for positions in the care industry as it has the backing of the county council.
The level of support a lot of people need within their homes and in residential homes is incredibly tough… some people may find that too hard emotionally as well as physically.”
