The marketplace serving the recruiting and staffing needs for social care in the UK, Florence, has recently revealed its latest plans following its previous funding round. 

Florence, the recruitment marketplace connecting care home providers with qualified professionals to fill temporary shifts, announces it has raised £5 million in Series A funding. The round was led by SEEK, global leader in the creation and scaling of online employment marketplaces, alongside existing backers Waverly Capital, Rianta Capital and a network of early stage angel investors. Including this round, Florence has now raised £7 million in total – with the platform firmly establishing itself as a trusted and reliable employment marketplace for the UK social care sector.

Charles Armitage, Founder and CEO of Florence, remarks: “The funding round is a direct response to the value we can add to the UK social care sector. We have a track record of significantly improving the ease and efficiency with which social care businesses can source and coordinate a flexible workforce, and the control and accessibility with which nurses and carers can connect to work. We are delighted to have secured this investment as we deepen our commitment to transforming the staffing and recruitment process in social care for the better.”
