Sitra is delighted to have been commissioned by Skills for Care to explore existing, emerging and new roles that bring together housing and social care. We want to explore how roles are changing – where the bringing together of housing and care responsibilities in supported accommodation and floating support services are creating new roles.

We want to understand what this workforce looks like now, how the workforce is changing, and what the workforce of the future will need to know. This will help inform thinking by Skills for Care, Building Futures and organisations like Sitra as to how best to support these emerging roles.

You can be a part of this important work! Please take 10 minutes to fill in our survey and automatically be entered in a competition to win TWO FREE PLACES on Sitra’s public training courses.

We will also be arranging short one-to-one interviews during June. If your organisation offers extra care housing, Sitra would really like to hear about your experiences! Sitra is committed to keeping you updated to the findings of this exciting research.

Please let us know if you are able to help. Email LaurenS@sitra.org or for more information visit Sitra’s website (www.sitra.org/news/research).
