E-vouchers for staff

Courtesy of North Somerset Council:

As you are aware, North Somerset Council has been distributing the workforce capacity grant to all CQC registered providers in North Somerset. We retained some of the allocation to support work that we are doing to improve recruitment and retention in the social care workforce. In recognition of the fantastic work that you and your staff do, we would like to purchase a token voucher for all staff who work in care services in North Somerset. We are going to be using a system called Wonde which will electronically distribute the voucher by email where staff can claim and spend the voucher, choosing from a number of areas.

In order to do this we will need staff information from you on the attached template. The phone number is not required but please do not delete the column. Please include North Somerset based office/domestic/kitchen staff. We would also like you to inform your staff of our intention and only supply an email address with their consent. If staff are not happy to provide their contact details we can send you a link to an evoucher for each member of staff that you can then email individually. To reiterate, due to budget limitations this is only for staff based and working in North Somerset care home, domiciliary care and day services.

As you are aware the workforce capacity grant must be spent by 31st March 2022 and therefore it is important that we have this information from you by 8th March 2022. Please can you send your completed spreadsheet to the asc.covid19@n-somerset.gov.uk.
