February 25, 2025

‘Recruitment and retention in social care is a huge challenge… with the current workforce crisis, the need for solutions is probably more urgent than ever.’

In Episode Three of The Care Social, hosts Barry and Lindsay dive into the pressing issues of attracting and retaining staff in the social care sector. They discuss the many challenges, emphasising that while competitive pay is essential, creating a culture where staff feel valued and supported is equally crucial.

The conversation also highlights initiatives like the “Make Care Your Career” campaign, running from February to March 2025, which showcases real stories and career progression within the sector. Additionally, they highlight the importance of structured induction programs, ongoing training, and creating an environment that promotes professional growth to improve staff retention.
