We’re sure many of you have seen the news. Care homes struggling, services stretched, talk of people potentially being turned away… and for those working in care, it’s not surprising. It’s reality.
Teams are tired.
Managers are under pressure.
And the same question keeps coming up… how do we keep going like this?
At Fairway, we’ve always believed the answer isn’t just about filling gaps when they appear. It’s about building something stronger underneath it all.
And we’re starting to see that shift happen.
Over the past year, we’ve increased the care hours we support from 32,200 to 51,200- a 60% growth.
Even more importantly, the number of those hours turning into permanent roles has grown from 21% to 36%.
Because this isn’t just about cover.
It’s about people staying.
In the last 8 weeks alone:
• We’ve worked with 87 care locations
• Supported 58 people into permanent roles
• Engaged 260+ individuals ready to join the sector
That’s not just activity, that’s progress.
Because the truth is, this sector doesn’t need more short-term fixes.
It needs a system that actually works.
If you’re in care, you’ll get it.
If you’re feeling the pressure, you’re not alone.
What’s your experience right now? Let’s talk about it.
