International Recruitment East Programme

International Recruitment East (IRE) is a Government funded programme.

The programme funding is to support care providers in ethical and safe recruitment of international care staff, and refugees with a right to work, into ASC care positions across the East of England.

The programme is running throughout 2023-2024. The funding ceases on 31 March 2024.

The IRE Programme aims to improve adult social care provision across the East of England. The heart of the programme is to support care providers in the ethical recruitment of international care professionals. As part of this it also aims to ensure the safety, wellbeing and equipping of all internationally recruited ASC staff. This is necessary in order to ensure the very best quality of care for the people in the East who access ASC services.

International Recruitment East is supported by: 

    • The twelve local authorities across the East of England
    • Skills for Care
    • The Association of Directors of Adult Social Services (ADASS) East
