Another fun and busy week! If you ever thought that working for the council meant lounging around, sipping tea, and nibbling on biscuits, think again! I'm continually inspired by my colleagues, always on the move. It's truly rewarding to be part of a team united by a common goal. The recruitment front is buzzing as we gear up to find exceptional candidates for our Neighbourhood Services Teams. These unsung heroes are dedicated to ensuring our communities and parks stay safe, clean, and positively gleaming. Next week, I'm off to London for the Community Care Live event, joining forces with our extraordinary Children and Adult Social Care teams. I'm excited to reconnect with familiar faces and forge new connections. Amidst the hustle and bustle, let's remember that we're all busy in our own ways, often wrapped up in our own little worlds. A simple check-in with someone can make a world of difference. You asking, "Are you okay?" could brighten their day and let them know they're not navigating life's challenges alone. The weekend forecast promises lovely, sunny weather, so don't forget to soak up some sunshine and enjoy your well-deserved weekend. ( Just wanted to share a pic of myself and 2 of my colleagues from the recruitment team) If you're on the lookout for a new role and haven't explored opportunities within a local authority before, head over to our careers page. We offer positions ranging from driving roles to senior director positions.

A frequently asked question I encounter is: "Is recruiting in social care challenging?"   The response: Yes, it presents its challenges. However, a pivotal shift occurred in my approach when I realised that previous experience and qualifications aren't the primary focus. Instead, I prioritise values, passion, enthusiasm, and a willingness to learn. We all embark on our journeys from different starting points; qualifications can follow suit.   Give people a chance, they might surprise you. #BreakTheStigma #SocialCare #domiciliarycare #care

Authenticity in Social Care and Community Recruitment In our industry, it's no joke. The stakes are high, and the rules are tight. The focus on compliance, care quality, and community well-being is critical. But... we’re neglecting a key aspect. Attracting and retaining the right people. Recruitment is often an afterthought for many teams. It's frustrating when I hear “our people are our greatest asset” over and over again, yet see minimal investment in actually finding and keeping these assets. 🤷♂️ Why the disconnect? :( It’s not all doom and gloom, though. Look at these organisations and individuals who are standing out: 👇 1) Care Connect - Community Care Provider Careers tab showing a clear career pathway. 2) Lin Hatfield Dodds video on Benevolent's website. How cool and authentic, especially coming from a CEO in the social care sector! 3) Interactive Community Care Pty Ltd Links in Seek for their Job Adverts. 4) Mission Australia's LinkedIn company page shows videos of resident's experiences and view's on the staff that work there. 5) HammondCare's story and values aren't just empty words copied and pasted from ChatGPT. We need to innovate not just in our care strategies but in how we attract and retain our incredible people. 💜 #SocialCareRecruitment #CommunityCare #Recruitment #EmployeeRetention #AuthenticityInRecruitment
