Driving Change in Social Care
Driving Change in Social Care: The Skills for Care Campaign
The social care landscape is undergoing rapid transformation, and at Oakwell Homecare, we’re excited to be part of the movement driving that change. Skills for Care’s “Driving Change in Social Care” campaign is particularly relevant to our mission of empowering our service users to live independent, fulfilling lives. The campaign emphasises the importance of continuous improvement in care delivery, ensuring care providers adapt to the evolving needs of those they support.
Building a Stronger Future: The Workforce Strategy for Adult Social Care
Building a Stronger Future: The Workforce Strategy for Adult Social Care
The care sector is currently facing significant challenges in workforce recruitment and retention. The new Workforce Strategy for Adult Social Care aims to address these issues by focusing on attracting, developing, and retaining skilled professionals within the industry. At Oakwell Homecare, we are fully on board with this strategy and are dedicated to playing our part in ensuring a strong, resilient workforce that can meet the growing demands of adult social care.
Supporting the Emotional Wellbeing of Care Staff
Supporting the Emotional Wellbeing of Care Staff: Why It’s Vital for High-Quality Care
In our work at Oakwell Homecare, we recognise that emotional wellbeing is just as important as physical health. We understand that working in domiciliary care can be emotionally challenging; caregivers form deep emotional bonds with those they care for, and without proper support the demands of the job can lead to stress, fatigue, and burnout.
Respecting Our Staff: The Lifeblood of Our Care Service
At Oakwell Homecare, we recognise that our dedicated staff are the foundation of our high-quality care services. In alignment with the "Keeping the right people" campaign by Skills for Care, we emphasise the importance of valuing our caregivers, ensuring they are respected, appreciated, and supported. Our registered manager, a proud member of Skills for Care, is committed to upholding these standards, reinforcing our dedication to both our staff and to you, our service users.
