working with the voluntary sector

Skills for Care works with social care employers to establish the standards and qualifications that will equip workers with the skills needed to deliver high quality care to people who use services.

Skills for Care provides funding and resources to support all employers, including voluntary sector employers, to develop their workforce.

Skills for Care has created a searchable funding and resources guide to signpost employers and learners in the adult social care sector to a diverse range of resources and funding freely available to support individual, organisational and workforce development.

Skills for Care's Training Strategy Implementation (TSI) funding is available to employers to help fund workforce learning and development in adult social care. TSI funding is a contribution to the cost of learning and assessment and is paid to employers through employer-led partnerships.

Skills for Care believes that workforce development is a vital part of retaining a good quality workforce and ensuring as an employer you deliver a flexible and good quality service. Workforce development includes providing a good induction for new staff, support with skills for life and other skills development required for the job and also good leadership and management support and development across the organisation.

You can find information about all of these areas on the Skills for Care web site www.skillsforcare.org.uk
