What is the Good Care Campaign?

With both an ageing population and individuals of all ages with more complex needs that require additional social care support, there is an increasing requirement to recruit and retain staff in the adult social care sector.

In Hertfordshire alone, we currently need to recruit around 4,000 paid carers each year. The Good Care Campaign is about celebrating the great work you and your staff carry out each day and sharing via social media and local news. It is your chance to inspire the public to consider social care as a rewarding career choice and recruit more people to work for you.

We are campaigning to raise the profile of the social care sector and to promote the great career opportunities and progression available to those who choose a career in social care.

Really good contact throughout the whole process, Nicole made it a very smooth process by providing all the necessary information about the company, where to go, the job role and what to prepare for the interview. She was really supportive throughout the whole process. I am passionate about working with the elderly, and wanted to work for a non profit organisation and learn more about charity work, but also learn more about chair based exercises and programs. I like to always been learning and this job opportunity provides this.

Tania, Elderly Exercise Specialist
I almost gave up and lost hope but the recruitment team lifted me up and encouraged me not to. They followed my every step which I truly appreciate and now I have a job I love.

Renata, Care and Support Worker
The Herts Good Care team are wonderful. They really helped me find the best job for me. They were also very consistent when communicating with me. I would not have my present job without them.

Ugonnwa, Care Assistant
I have been employed twice by using Herts Good Care, now and two years ago. Nicole is very polite, helpful and efficient, and has a good understanding of what people are looking for and what they want. Thank you very much.

Emilija, Care Assistant
Sara was helpful, polite and lovely. She supported me in every way and even on the day of my interview she called to wish me well. I am so grateful for finding a job with their support as it was easy and really fast. The company I have accepted a job with were also really welcoming at interview. I’m looking forward to a pleasant working experience while helping to build up the company.

Naa Koshie, Duty Manager
It has been really good. Nicole was really helpful and informative about the service and how to write a good job advert. We hadn’t thought about adding benefits of working for us to our adverts until the Herts Good Care team mentioned it, and it helps our advert to stand out.

Gemma, Teapot Home Care
James was very good at communicating with me and was very supportive throughout the process of finding me a new job. In my new job I am able to gain qualifications while working and getting the experience I need to progress my career in care.

Kaiyan, Care and Support Worker
I met with James at the jobcentre where he interviewed me. He then contacted me by email with job prospects and advised of an interview opportunity, which he organised on my behalf. I have now been offered that position. I have chosen this job because I was looking for a career that is more fulfilling.

Stephanie, Care and Support Assistant
Herts Good Care were great with contacting me and getting me into work, and helped me find an amazing job which I am really enjoying. This started when they provided a session to the Princes Trust about working in social care and the opportunities available, which inspired me to consider this as a career option.

Anthony, Apprentice Support Worker
There were plenty of job opportunities, I applied for the ones that were best for me. Sara was very helpful, she called me about various job opporutnities and I was looking for one on a part-time basis. She briefed me about the job, arranged the interview, I attended and loved it. This supported living service had such a positive vibe, and the interviewer left a positive impression on me. It made me really want to work here.
