Adults and Health Career Pathway
Introduction to Adults and Health
High quality care and support services are dependent upon a highly skilled, compassionate, and caring workforce, who feel understood and valued for their work and the vital impact that it has on people’s lives. Our key priority is ‘enabling the workforce’ to feel safe, supported and enabled to be themselves, be well and healthy and are confident to keep people in their own homes, families, jobs & communities.
Our workforce is critical to achieving high quality, person-centred care. We also support a lot of people to leave hospital in a timely manner. On average, we have about 2,500 people per year receiving longer term paid support, and a further 2,000 a year using temporary accommodation and needing tenancy related support. We also supported over 500 people to enable them to continue to care for loved ones and conducted over 900 safeguarding enquiries. The quality-of-care provision remains high with 82 percent of care homes and 100 percent of home care support being rated as good or outstanding by the Care Quality Commission (CQC) (Sep 22).
