“The future of adult social care depends on how successfully we attract and develop the next generation of talent. This is not just a workforce issue, but a defining challenge for the sector. If we want a sustainable care sector, we must do more than recruit; we must inspire young people to see social care as a career where they can grow, lead and make a difference, and be more intentional in how we create clear pathways into the profession.”
