“Never giving up on anyone!” – what are we learning about the approach to finding and keeping great people who work for small supports organisations?

Helen Bown, NDTi, discusses learning from recent work to better understand how small supports recruit and retain their support staff at a time of ongoing challenges for social care services.

This session will share the themes and messages from a review of the “small supports workforce” looking at what national and organisational data reveals alongside conversations with staff working for three established small supports organisations. The aim of this work is to highlight important factors for finding and keeping staff delivering fantastic support that enables people to have a good life. We also wanted to find out if there are any differences between these approaches and those adopted by more traditional social care organisations. We’ll share the findings and together explore some of the major themes the work has revealed.
