The new One Workforce Hub full of useful features for our health and social care workforce will be with you soon.
The Hub will support the workforce across the whole of health and social care in Bradford District and Craven collectively so that everyone on their journey into or already within the sector benefits. It will provide a central digital presence, bringing health and social care organisations together supported by our colleges and university, to showcase, manage and deliver local workforce development opportunities.
The One Workforce Hub will support our priorities for growing and developing our workforce through:
- Looking after our people– keeping our people safe, healthy and well.
- Creating belonging– having an inclusive and compassionate culture where our people feel they belong and are supported to act as one.
- Developing new ways of working and delivering care– developing our people’s skills; expanding capabilities and creating new roles to improve service flexibility, succession planning and career progression.
- Growing our talent for the future– recruitment, retention and deployment across the system to increase supply.
Workforce is the biggest issue facing health and social care over the next decade made even more apparent through the Covid-19 pandemic. Nationally there are an estimated 10,000 vacancies in medical posts and 40,000 vacancies in nursing posts and 122,000 more social care staff are required. In Bradford District & Craven, 4,700 additional roles will be required by 2030. So working together to attract and retain your talent is vital for the wellbeing of the people in our district.
