Information and support from Skills for Care

Throughout September we’re shining our spotlight on how you can #RecruitRight, to find the best people to provide high-quality care to the people you support, now and in the future. 

To help to grow and sustain our workforce of the future, it’s really important that employers actively seek out people from a diverse range of groups. This week, we’re focusing on how to attract more men and younger people into social care to ensure our care workforce represents the people it supports, and to make sure the social care sector is supported and recognised as a rewarding career option for all. 
Visit our #RecruitRight webpage where you will find lots of information and resources to support you with recruitment and retention. You can also read an interview with a young registered manager on our ‘Think Care Careers’ website to find out more about social care careers for younger people.
Have you completed the adult social care workforce survey yet? We want to hear from as many people as possible in all roles and all areas of support across the sector. The survey will take no more than 20 minutes to complete, and the findings will be used to shape Government thinking. If you’ve already completed the survey, please share the link with your colleagues and encourage them to complete it too: https://ipsos.uk/ASCworkforce
