A lack of suitable applicants. Struggling to find people with the right skills and values. Candidates dropping out during recruitment. Good people leaving too soon.
These are challenges we hear regularly from across the independent living sector.
So, we’ve brought together practical ideas, approaches and examples in our new Good Practice Guide: Recruitment in Independent Living, available exclusively to erosh members.
The guide explores how providers can attract a wider pool of candidates, remove unnecessary barriers from recruitment, recruit for competence and values, and create the conditions that help good people stay.
It covers:
➡️ Key recruitment challenges facing independent living providers
➡️ In-house recruitment vs outsourcing
➡️ Removing barriers from the recruitment process
➡️ Competence and values-based recruitment
➡️ Advertising and attracting a wider range of applicants
➡️ Application and interview processes
➡️ Onboarding, development and staff retention
➡️ Practical examples and ideas from across the sector
Independent living can be demanding work, but it can also offer enormous variety, job satisfaction and the opportunity to make a real difference to people’s lives. How we communicate that to potential applicants matters.
erosh members can log in now to access the new guide.
