The CASA Family
CASA supports the operation of CASA Social Franchise Units in Calderdale, North Tyneside, Newcastle and Manchester. CASA has organisational links with Sunderland (Incorporating South Tyneside) Home Care Associates.
All members of the CASA Family are social enterprises – they are employee owned and controlled businesses which re-invest their surplus to ensure that the quality of their service continually improves. In the Care Sector, where budgets are tight and the quality of service is critical, these social enterprise attributes are not simply ‘window dressing’ – they go to the nub of the issue concerning how care should be delivered outwith the Statutory Sector. Not only is surplus re-invested in the service, CASA’s flat management hierarchy means that workers at the coal face are directly involved in how the service is managed.
Employee ownership ensures a pride in and a commitment to both the service and the people receiving care. In a sector where wage rates are notoriously low and conditions are difficult, CASA has succeeded in forging a model of ownership and management that rewards the loyalty and professionalism of its whole staff team.
