Background
“Wise Owls helps you to meet all your staffing needs”
WISE OWLS’... Care2Work programme offers benefits to both employers and people over 50 who have been carers. Employers are able to benefit from a wide range of potential staff who have a wide range of experience and high levels of commitment, but who have taken time out of the labour market and put their career on hold to care for their children, grandchildren, wife, husband or other relatives whom we have given up to date training and support to be ready to work.
Our clients... are women and men from all ethnicities, with different skill sets and experience of different sectors, bring a rich understanding of the wider world. They have an immense range of transferable skills and make motivated and reliable workers.

Benefits
Research... evidence shows that a diverse older workforce will enrich and add value to your business. With their knowledge and experience of clients from different ages, cultures and backgrounds, including people who are carers or being cared for, will not only help you promote and brand yourself as an inclusive employer, but will also help you comply with diversity legislation and fully implement your Corporate Social Responsibility policy.
We work... with employers, large and small London wide; we are a bridge between employer and employee. We can help you to source the best talent for your organisation at no cost to you! And help you become an age diverse organisation showing a commitment to caring for the carers – who will add value to your company by through the understanding, patience, reliability, consideration and commitment they bring to their jobs.
We can... also offer you clients who are prepared for work trials so that you can judge for yourself the benefit that our candidates can bring to your business before deciding whether you wish to employ them. We will support you and them while they are with you.
