National adult social care jobs board

Department for Health and Social Care are developing a national adult social care jobs board. They are looking for providers to get involved in their user research to find out how providers currently recruit, if they’d like a national jobs board, and to help test this. If you are a hiring manager for a small care provider (size 1 to 50 employees) and you would like to take part, please contact shelley.evitt@nhs.net
