Skills for Care support in your area

At Skills for Care we’re committed to supporting the adult social care workforce to lead, deliver and grow. 

Our locality managers work with adult social care providers at a local level, as well as a wide range of other partners within the local health and care systems.

They’re available to answer queries and questions on a range of topics such as:

  • workforce development, including funding available
  • workforce planning
  • workforce wellbeing
  • support and guidance for registered managers
  • recruitment and retention initiatives
  • integration and working with health.

 

Locality managers can signpost you to information relevant to your needs, share best practice and can connect you with local groups, networks and events you may find useful.

 

Support from locality managers can be via phone or email, and you can find out who your locality manager is by clicking on your local area below.
