Filled posts

This tracker is updated monthly, by 15th of the month.

Trackers have been paused and will be updated once 'The size and structure of the adult social care sector in England' report is published on 29 July 2025. Significant improvements have been made to estimates for the size of the non-residential workforce and will be reflected in the updated figures.

This page presents the estimated number of filled posts in adult social care each month.

• These estimates cover CQC-regulated care homes and CQC regulated non-residential services in the independent sector.
• These estimates are statistics in development and may differ from Skills for Care’s other publications.
• These figures may be revised throughout the year as more data is provided to the ASC-WDS and as we continue to develop the methodology.
