The next Care Recruitment Masterclass

- Tuesday 20 October 2026, 11:00 to 12:30, live on Microsoft Teams.
- Every ticket includes the recording.

Bookings close at 10:00 on Tuesday 20 October.
You're not failing at recruitment.
Your system is.
Most care providers hire the same way every time. Post an ad. Hope. Cover the gap with agency and overtime. Lose the new starter before probation. Start again.
It costs more than you think.
A vacant care manager role costs roughly £450 a day in agency cover.
Agencies charge 15 to 25% per placement.
And someone, usually you, does the hiring on top of the day job.
A lot of care manager stress starts right there.
This masterclass fixes the system, so you stop paying for the same vacancy twice.
Seven parts. 90 minutes.
You work on your own service throughout.
-
1. What one empty shift really costs
Care recruitment is a systems problem. We put agency cover, overtime and burnout into pounds, so you can see what a gap is really doing to your service.
-
2. Create, see the vacancy before it lands
Workforce planning for a care service. Turnover, rota gaps, and spotting the warning signs earlier.
Exercise: cost one of your own live vacancies.
-
3. Expand, write the ad your best carer would answer
What candidates now expect from a care employer, and why most job ads miss it.
Exercise: rewrite one of your own job ads.
-
4. Retain, the first 12 weeks
Where new starters drop out and why. Keeping care staff starts in week one, not at the exit interview.
Exercise: find your own drop-off points.
-
5. Safer recruitment without the paperwork panic
CQC and Ofsted requirements turned into a process you can run every time. Values-based and inclusive hiring built in. Practical guidance, not legal advice.
-
6. AI in care recruitment, time saver or liability
Where AI saves you hours. Where it creates bias and data risk.
-
7. Train, three changes in 30 days
Your action plan, with an owner and a date for each change. Then open Q&A.
You don't leave with notes. You leave with work done.
- A real cost for one of your own live vacancies
- One of your own job ads, rewritten
- Your own drop-off points in the first 12 weeks, found
- A safer recruitment self-check for your service
- A clear view of where AI helps your hiring and where it creates risk
- A 30 day action plan for your service, with an owner and a date for each change
- The recording, plus your online workbook until Saturday 19 December 2026
This is for you if
- You own, manage or lead a CQC or Ofsted regulated care provider in England and Wales.
- You do the hiring on top of the day job.
- You're using more agency than you want to.
- You've filled the same role more than once and you're done with it.
This is not for you if
- You run a recruitment agency.
- You want employment law training. This isn't it.
- You want a software demo. This is about process, not tools.
- You want someone else to do your hiring for you.
Matt Fitton, founder of FittonMillett Consultants.
Matt started as a recruiter in IT and healthcare. Then he became a support worker. Then a care manager across mental health, children's and elderly services.
He's hired from the agency side, been hired on the frontline, and done the hiring as a manager on top of everything else.
That's why he knows care providers aren't failing at recruitment. Their systems are.
He isn't a recruiter now. He fixes the systems behind hiring.
One provider Matt worked with cut their job board spend from £3,000 to £500 a month.
One provider saw 60% faster hiring and 40% lower recruitment costs.

Struggling to find 90 mins? That's fine. You run a care service, and Tuesday mornings rarely go to plan.
Someone rings in sick. A safeguarding call comes in. The rota falls over. Tuesday at 11:00 was never safe.
Book anyway.
Every ticket includes the recording and 60 days of access to your online workbook, until Saturday 19 December 2026.
Watch it that evening. Watch it in two halves. Work through the workbook as you go.
You finish with the same 30 day action plan as everyone who was there live.
Before you book, read our masterclass ticket terms, website terms and privacy policy.

Can I send a colleague instead?
Yes. You can transfer your ticket to a colleague at the same organisation before the event. Email hello@fittonmillett.com with their name and email address.

You get a full refund or a place on the new date.
Is this legal or employment law training?
No. It's practical guidance on running recruitment as a process. It isn't legal advice.

Someone sent me here. Do I need to mention them?
