From DHSC:
- “Made With Care” recruitment campaign launches across broadcast and social media today to encourage people into a career in care
- Opportunity to be part of biggest reform of adult social care in a generation
- Record funding invested to support new social care sector including for staff training and development
People across England will be encouraged to pursue a rewarding career in adult social care during the biggest period of change in a generation, following the launch of a new recruitment campaign today (Wednesday 3 November).
The ‘Made with Care’ recruitment campaign will run across, broadcast and social media for five months encouraging people with the values that embody carers to join a workforce dedicated to helping others and build a career that helps people live happy, healthy lives.
With almost half-a-million extra job opportunities in adult social care expected by 2035 and more than 105,000 vacancies needing to be filled the ‘Made with Care’ campaign aims to encourage people to apply for exciting and rewarding roles across the country.
Ross Penfold, Team Leader at a domiciliary care and supported living agency said:
“The best moment is when you can move someone back from care to their own home. It's not an easy journey but it's absolutely worth all the effort, especially when clients return to visit you and you see the smile on their faces.
“I’d recommend anyone looking for a huge sense of reward and fulfilment to consider a career in care.”
Roles in adult social care can be flexible, varied and rewarding, and could offer those who have the values and attributes needed to be a care worker the opportunity to start a new career.
