Made with Care

During the last campaign period (November 2022 to March 2023) the advertising had a significant impact.

• Post campaign tracking showed an increase in campaign recognition and consideration of a role in adult social care amongst our target audience.
• And this translated to action with a 53.9% increase in new users visiting the campaign website: www.adultsocialcare.co.uk.
• However, the adult social care sector continues to face a number of challenges and has over 152,000 vacancies available across England.
• Therefore, to further support the sector another burst of the ‘Made with Care’ national recruitment campaign will run from October 2023 until March 2024 with a significant media budget behind it.
• The campaign imagery and messaging has been updated to reflect sector feedback.

The campaign highlights the emotional rewards that a career in care can bring and celebrates the way staff across the adult social care sector empower the people they support to live fulfilling lives. It also emphasises the importance of needing to have the right personal qualities to begin a career in care, while showing the training and progression opportunities that are often available, along with the option to work varied hours that fit around them. All of these helping to tackle the concerns many potential applicants have about taking up care work, and importantly motivate them to apply for jobs in their local area today.
