South Tyneside Council’s Post

#SizeAndStructure data shows that the number of filled posts in adult social care have increased again in 2023/24 and vacancy rates have decreased. The largest increase in filled posts was in domiciliary care services. The sector continues to grow, in part due to an increase in international recruitment. ➡️ https://lnkd.in/e2nctXTa

The surge in international recruitment is vital for the adult social care sector.

🌟 A Powerful Reminder 🌟 I came across this important message and couldn't agree more: When someone who is unemployed sends you a connection request on LinkedIn, consider accepting it. We never know what circumstances lead to someone’s current situation. Treat others as you would like to be treated and offer support when you can. Unemployment is often temporary, and life is full of surprises. The person you choose to connect with today might be the one who helps you tomorrow. Let’s lift each other up! 🤝 #SupportEachOther #Networking #Empathy #CareerGrowth #Unemployment #KindnessMatters #RiseByLiftingOthers

Looking to attract the best support workers? In adult care services, finding exceptional support workers can make all the difference. 🎯 Start by creating a welcoming and inclusive company culture. Prospective employees often seek workplaces where they feel valued and supported. Promote your team's achievements and highlight the positive aspects of working with your organisation, such as continuous professional development opportunities and a diverse, dynamic work environment. Next, focus on the power of referrals and community outreach. 🤝 Encourage your current staff to refer quality candidates by offering referral bonuses.
