I am delighted to pledge my support to a national recruitment campaign by the Department of Health and Social Care (DHSC), to address the 110,000 vacancies in adult social care across England.
Running throughout February and March, the campaign aims to fill the sector’s recruitment gap and support local recruitment activity by increasing interest in adult social care as a career choice and driving awareness of the variety of roles available. The national campaign will comprise social media, digital and local radio advertising, events and media relations across England.
I have met and spoken with care workers in Thirsk and Malton so I have heard first-hand what a rewarding, varied and worthwhile career adult social care can be. I fully support this campaign and am looking forward to seeing its impact on the number of vacancies in Thirsk and Malton by helping local employers recruit people with the right personal values for care work, our communities will be better supported by highly motivated and skilled workers.
If you think a career in adult social care could be for you, or someone you know, visit the campaign website www.everydayisdifferent.com for more information on what it means to work in adult social care.”
