The decision is a response to the recruitment difficulties of the sector. The Government will expand the salary revaluation granted during health segur to some 20,000 additional caregivers, employees of the disabled institutions financed by the departments, announced the Prime Minister on Monday, November 8th.
“It is not conceivable to maintain these inequalities of treatment between two caregivers exercising the same profession, to the only pretext that their respective institutions are not funded in the same way, observed Jean Castex during a trip In a specialized home located in Châtenay-Malabry (Hauts-de-Seine).
This revaluation, which “will concern more than 20,000 professionals”, will be registered as a amendment to the social security financing bill under discussion in the Senate, said the head of government, accompanied by the Secretary of State for Disability, Sophie Cluzel.

For several months, the medico-social sector, which includes assistance to seniors and disabled, but also to homeless or in danger children, warns serious recruitment difficulties.
A communication campaign
This staff shortage is partly explained by disparities in treatment between employees: the remuneration increases of 183 euros per month, granted in the summer of 2020 during the health segur to the staff of hospitals and houses of Retirement, were then extended gradually and partially to other sectors, resulting in skills flight for better paid areas.
To respond to this problem, upgrades for social security institutions financed by social security will be effective in November and not, as originally planned, the January 1, A. Advertised Mr Castex, for a cost of 60 million euros.
To assist institutions to recruit, regional health agencies (ARS) will also have an “exceptional HR support cell”, and Pôle emploi agencies will offer “short qualifying training”, funded by The government, Castex said.
The executive will also launch a communication campaign to “attract new professionals to the disability” service “and will organize, before January 15, a” Conference of Social and Medical Social Accompaniment Trades “.
In this context, if the departments, funders of part of the sector, and the social partners show “responsibility”, “we will be willing to mobilize new means,” said the Prime Minister.
