If you work in social care and / or provide social care services to adults, click here and this page will help you create and support your own local recruitment marketing activity by using materials and information from the national campaign.
The national recruitment campaign from the Department of Health and Social Care (DHSC) aims to drive a new generation of people to consider and apply for a job in adult social care. Collectively, we need to spread the word that working in social care can be rewarding, varied and worthwhile. Care work is a vocation where you can make a real difference and every day really is different to the next. Your organisation plays a vital role in the successful recruitment of the right people into social care jobs. Communications and marketing can help you to fill your vacancies. Recent DHSC research* showed that almost 40% of those surveyed who considered applying for a job but then didn’t, say that they did not know how to apply**, while 12% didn’t think there were jobs in their local area. The communications tips and ideas in this toolkit are not an added extra - they offer a range of simple and straightforward things that your organisation can do to maximise the impact of your existing recruitment processes and find the right candidates for you – which will ultimately help retention rates. This toolkit is designed to help care providers of all sizes and types. One, some, or all of the ideas could be used depending on your organisation’s time and resources.
