Please join us for the first in a series of webinars, which will raise the profile of APSCo social work recruitment companies amongst the end client community and give our members access to understanding the issues and challenges facing local authorities in their social work provision.  

 

We are doing something slightly different for our next social work sector group meeting.  Working in collaboration with the London Innovation and Improvement Alliance, we have invited local authorities from across England to join APSCo members in the audience, on a webinar to discuss best practice in candidate attraction and recruitment.

 

This exclusive webinar offers a unique opportunity for APSCo members to hear the questions and concerns raised by local authorities. Thus, increasing your understanding of their challenges, and enabling you to deliver high-quality, value-added services that align with the evolving needs of your clients

 

Key themes include leadership presence and impact, consistent and effective EVP promotion, and streamlined recruitment processes—all essential for ensuring a sustainable and high-performing social work workforce.

 

This initiative not only elevates the awareness and commercial advantage of being an APSCo member,  it reinforces our collective commitment to excellence in social work recruitment; giving local authorities an awareness of how our members ensure high quality, best practice recruitment processes. We are proud to be part of this collaborative effort and look forward to your participation in this insightful session.

 

Who should attend?

These webinars are relevant to all flexible and permanent line managers and senior leadership teams within local authority social work provision, and APSCo members.
