The ‘Social Care – Making a Difference’ campaign invites people who want a career in care to learn more through stories from social care practitioners doing the job – about what it is like, why they do it, and showing the flexible, varied and diverse opportunities available.
The Northern Ireland Social Care Council (the Social Care Council) delivers this campaign annually on behalf of the Social Care Collaborative Forum, a Department of Health partnership across the social care sector in Northern Ireland, which has been established to lead a programme of work to improve social care services for the community.
Speaking at today’s launch, Minister Nesbitt said:
“Social care work really matters and is truly valued. It is vital that the right care is available for adults and young people and that they are supported to live independently for as long as possible.
“My Department and I are committed to both supporting our social care workforce and promoting social care as a career choice.
“I want to thank all of our social care practitioners for their commitment, compassion and the valuable work they do every day in our communities.”
