On the 3rd of November, The Department of Health and Social Care launched ‘Made With Care’. A recruitment campaign aimed at encouraging people to apply for adult social care jobs.
There will be a chance for the people of England to participate in the biggest reform of adult social care in a generation. In addition, a record amount of funding will also be invested in social care to support the sector.
ITV, Channel 4 and Sky will broadcast the 'Made With Care' campaign between November and March. It aims to attract people who demonstrate the values of carers to join a workforce dedicated to helping others and build a career that benefits them in every way. Over half a million jobs will be available in adult social care by 2035, according to estimates.
Health and Social Care Secretary, Sajid Javid, said:
“Care workers have done a phenomenal job throughout the pandemic, in difficult circumstances, and I thank them for all they have done.”
“A career in social care is rewarding and inspiring. Over the next 3 years we are investing at least £500 million to support the training and development for carers.”
“We need more people who possess the core values this workforce embody so strongly – kindness, compassion and resilience – to look after our friends and family with dignity and respect.”
Over the next three years, £5.4 billion will be allocated to reform social care.
Minister for Care Gillian Keegan said:
“I am dedicated to making working in social care not just emotionally rewarding but a career opportunity with future development for people.”
“The care workers represented in our ‘Made with Care’ recruitment campaign are passionate about working in the sector – and the impact they have on those they care for has really moved me. I strongly encourage people to apply for these great opportunities.”
“We are investing record amounts into social care making this an exciting time to join the workforce and play an important role in helping to develop a world-leading social care system as we bring forward our plans for reform later this year.”
