It’s time to change the story when it comes to social care. I’m fed up of all the negative coverage of social care. Social care is amazing!! It’s a sector full of brilliant, warm, kind, caring people who make a difference every day. If we’re serious about attracting more people to work in the sector, we have to start helping people to understand what social care really is, the opportunities available and the huge pull of enabling people to live their best lives.

I’m excited this week to introduce my new blog mini-series, a collaboration with Andrew Burridge, NWADASS, where I’m going to be examining why there are such serious workforce pressures in social care and providing some practical advice and solutions for changes we can make right now, as well as in the longer term, to recruit and retain more of the right people to work in social care.

Imagine a spec for the perfect change agent…….I’m having some fun this week. I’m taking the learning, insights and inspiration from all my Secret Musings of a Change Agent blogs to create just that. But there’s a serious message. We have to fundamentally rethink how we attract, recruit, nurture and develop people who are great at making change happen if we want to build change capacity for the future.

So what can we learn from Sheni that will help us to think differently about how we build change capacity within our organisations? Click the pic to read more……

Anyone who knows me knows that one of the things I care very deeply about is diversity. I can’t tell you how privileged I feel to be able to dive into the arena of neurodiversity in leadership this week. Shirley Woods-Gallagher is a brilliantly intelligent, visionary leader and she’s very recently had her identify confirmed as autistic. Shirley has taken the brave step to talk about this publicly and she’s determined she’s going to give everything she’s got to make change happen. Click the pic to read more……
