Description
Jewish Care, the British charity providing health and social care support services for the Jewish community, has announced that it had started redundancy consultations with 120 of its employees working in community centres, with a view to cut 100 jobs. The decision about the job cuts is a response to the government introducing national level COVID-19 restrictions and a rise in COVID-19 cases, which make it impossible for the charity to reintroduce face-to-face services.
In its statement the charity said the reorganisation was necessary to 'consolidate and build on the success of the outreach services', such as a telephone helpline it was already offering.
Jewish Care manages community centres and care homes in London and the south east of England, employing about 1,300 staff.

The retail banking sector is fertile ground for studying the impacts of digitalisation on work and employment. Financial services are increasingly provided online, without the intermediary of customer-facing institutions.
European labour markets have recovered strongly from COVID-19. By the end of 2021, little more than 18 months after the start of the pandemic, employment rates in the EU were almost at pre-crisis levels.
