Jobs in danger as care provider set to undergo restructure

Multiple jobs could be lost following the restructure of a major care provider in the South West of England, a recent news report in the local business media has been able to reveal.

Sunshine Care Ltd, which operates the Retreat care home in Plymouth and provides live-in care across the South of England, is proposing a company voluntary arrangement (CVA), assisted by Lameys Business Recovery.

Under the restructuring being made for the CVA, the provision of the home and live-in care services will be completely unaffected as the business will continue to trade. However, the company’s provision of hourly care in the community under the contracts with Plymouth and Bristol councils will be discontinued.

As part of the restructure, redundancies will made at the company’s administration centre. Lameys will provide assistance with redundancy claims, but said "it is hoped that many of these can find alternative employment with other service providers".

Any restructuring and operations’ streamlining processes are never good for employees and the respective companies’ HR departments, but Time & Attendance South West can help firms navigate easier through these troubled times.
