Building a Stronger Future: The Workforce Strategy for Adult Social Care

Meeting Challenges with Positive Change

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 Our Carers

At Oakwell Homecare, we understand that quality care starts with a supported, motivated, and well-trained workforce. As part of the Workforce Strategy, we invest in the development of our team through comprehensive training programmes, ensuring our staff have the skills and knowledge they need to excel in their roles.

We also focus on the emotional wellbeing of our caregivers, providing them with the resources and support they need to manage the challenges of working in social care. This includes flexible working arrangements, mental health support, and career progression opportunities, which are crucial for job satisfaction and staff retention.

The Future of Home Care

The Workforce Strategy highlights the importance of making social care a more attractive and sustainable career path. By offering competitive wages, career development, and emotional support, we aim to build a workforce that is not only skilled but also passionate about making a difference in the lives of others. This ultimately benefits our service users, who receive care from motivated and compassionate professionals.
