Our Ambition

We will attract people from within our local community to work in the Wakefield system. Wakefield will be recognised as a good place to work. We will value our people, look after staff-wellbeing, and provide excellent career development opportunities

People will be attracted to work in Wakefield and want to stay working in the place confident that their careers will flourish through choices to progress and develop right across a variety of system roles and pathways

We will increase opportunities to promote H&SC careers and attract more people with the right values to join the workforce through joint supported employment programmes, apprenticeships, work-experience and voluntary roles or student placements.  We will create clear career pathways that are understood by our people. We will develop a sustainable social care workforce.

We will develop strategies aimed at improved retention including new ways of attracting retirees back into the health and social care workforce.
