Registrations close soon for our free national webinar for regional businesses and SMEs. Having 6 years HR experience working in a regional NSW clothing manufacturing business I understand how hard it can be to hire, train and retain the right mix of people to help your business thrive, whilst supporting the communities you live in. Low unemployment rates and ongoing staffing shortages are adversely impacting regional businesses and small and medium enterprises (SMEs). However, opportunity awaits employers in an untapped talent pool of people with disability. Employing and retaining people with disability has clear benefits. Smart businesses are leading the way by confidently attracting and hiring from a wider pool of skilled candidates in their local community. You can, too. Join our upcoming JobAccess national webinar to learn about disability employment and the range of free supports available for regional businesses and SMEs. We're thrilled to have Dr. Dinesh Palipana OAM deliver the keynote address.

Social care recruitment stands apart, and here's why. Unlike other sectors, it's deeply personal. The essence of social care is rooted in compassion, empathy, and the profound desire to make a tangible difference in the lives of others. In this field, the recruitment process goes beyond matching skills and experience. It's about finding individuals with the right heart. Those who can offer not just their expertise but also their humanity. It's a calling that demands resilience, patience, and an unwavering commitment to support the most vulnerable in our society. Candidates are not just employees; they are lifelines for those they serve. Social care roles require a unique blend of emotional intelligence and practical ability. Recruiters look for signs of innate kindness, a genuine passion for helping others, and the capacity to handle challenging situations with grace. Moreover, the sector faces its own set of challenges. With an ageing population in the UK, the demand for social care services is escalating. Yet, the industry grapples with high turnover rates and a shortage of qualified staff. This adds a layer of complexity to the recruitment process, as it's not just about finding the right people but also retaining them. Recruiters in social care must also navigate the intricacies of compliance and safeguarding, ensuring that all candidates meet the stringent regulatory requirements. This is crucial in protecting the welfare of those who rely on social care services. In conclusion, social care recruitment is unique because it's as much about finding people with the right values as it is about their skills. It's about building a workforce that can deliver care with dignity, respect, and kindness. And that's what makes it both a challenge and a privilege for those in the recruitment sector. #SocialCare #RecruitmentChallenges #CareSector #vetrorecruitment #vetro
