Ready, Steady, Hire

Joined Up Careers Derbyshire have teamed up with partners Skills for Care and Indeed to promote a week of bespoke, bitesize webinars designed to encourage employers to re-think how to attract, recruit and retain quality candidates to fill social care vacancies.

Recruitment is time-consuming, resource-heavy and can become rather frustrating if candidates don’t come back after their first shift! A varied programme of sessions has been designed, including the sharing of best practice from local social care employers, methods of doing things differently to increase attraction and interest in the vacancies, and tips on how to utilise Indeed to its full potential to secure the best candidates.

Sessions are 30-minutes long, free to attend and are being hosted via Microsoft Teams for convenience.

The week will end on Friday with an invitation to join a Derbyshire-wide social care recruitment hiring event in September (date to be confirmed) – this will be an opportunity for your organisation to promote itself and its vacancies on a large scale to candidates within your local area.

Involvement with the recruitment drive will be completely free of charge to yourselves and is a great opportunity to put some of the learning into practice whilst filling vacancies.

If you’d like any more information about the event, please get in touch with the Joined Up Careers team: dhcft.joinedupcareers@nhs.net
