New Show From Public Sector HR Podcast on Recruiting Social Workers
Public Sector HR Podcast show #019 was released recently with a focus on Recruiting Social Workers.
Recruiting and retaining social workers has been a big challenge for a lot of authorities for many years. High profile cases like Baby P have not helped to attract new people into the profession, which is why the government recently announced a £58m recruitment and training package.
The show this month focuses on how East Sussex County Council has managed to buck this trend and recruit 28 social workers with one campaign. Lou Carter, Assistant Director of Planning and Performance in Children’s Services at the council, talks about what she believes has made their approach work so well.
We also hear from Kathryn Kelly, who is managing the IDeA’s campaign to raise awareness of Social Work as a career – part of the LGA’s Respect, Recruit, Retain campaign.
