Employers have told us that a values-based approach to recruitment and retention results in lower recruitment costs, lower staff turnover and better staff performance.
We offer two different programmes that offer practical, values-based strategies to strengthen recruitment, support staff development, and reduce turnover.
They include seminars, tailored one-to-one support and personalised data retention reports. Providers can book onto one of our open access dates or the programmes can be commissioned by providers specifically for their organisation, or by local authorities and integrated care systems on behalf of providers in their area.

微微草视频 is the leading source of adult social care workforce intelligence and an official statistics provider, having been added to the Official Statistics Order 2023. We use the information collected in the Adult Social Care Workforce Data Set (ASC-WDS) to create robust estimates for the size of the whole adult social care sector and characteristics of the workforce.
Our estimates show that we’ll need an extra 25% more posts (440,000) by 2035 if the number of adult social care posts grows proportionally to the projected number of people aged 65 and over in the population.
That’s why it’s so important to start thinking not only about how to boost short-term capacity but how to sustain the long-term needs of your workforce.
