Social Care Workforce Development
The workforce development team is responsible for providing support to managers and individual employees to train and develop the social care workforce in Â鶹´«Ã½ÍøÕ¾. This service supports local authority staff, independent social care providers and the voluntary sector by offering opportunities for training and development. The workforce development team aims to:
- support managers to attract and retain a skilled, flexible and efficient workforce that is committed to the achievement of the Council's goals and to the enhancement of the quality and value of its services.
- assist all those who work within the social care sector in Â鶹´«Ã½ÍøÕ¾ to develop the knowledge, skills, values and attitudes required to provide a person centred, high quality, cost effective service for the service users.
- provide expert information, advisory and consultancy services that promote and maintain good employment practice and good staff development practices.
- support the development of a qualified social care workforce across the county.
- The team co-ordinates a Social Care Workforce Development Programme in partnership with all six North Wales local authorities.
The annual programme is outlined in the Training Plan for 2025-26.
Details of individual courses and dates are set out in the annual training directory.
To celebrate the achievements of individuals across the workforce, we hold award ceremonies.
The Â鶹´«Ã½ÍøÕ¾ Social Care Development Programme is funded by Â鶹´«Ã½ÍøÕ¾ and a grant from Welsh Government.
