Over the last 3 years Bury Council alongside Bury Integrated Care Partnership and their Recruitment and Development Partners, Unique Training Solutions have built initiatives that have proactively encouraged people to join and develop skills within our local Adult Social Care Workforce. It is no secret that the demand on this workforce is growing and there has been a number of challenges in recent years that have impacted nationally and locally, the ability the sector has to attract and retain great people.
We recognise the national and local challenges alongside the Bury employment marketplace and have championed providers that offer flexibility, offer salaries at and above the real living wage and progressively support training and development.
The “be the difference in Bury” initiative is about strengthening local people’s awareness about the incredible Adult Social Care workforce in Bury by increasing the attraction to local jobs, supporting people into jobs, increasing skills to progress within the sector and widening access to resources and tools that will strengthen workforce growth. We wanted to outline some of the collaborative work we are doing to shine the spotlight on these challenges and the support Bury is giving to our Social Care Providers.
