Recruitment and Retention

Recruitment & Retention

Over the years CSAC has worked hard to support our members' recruitment and retention needs.  In 2006 we carried out research to find out if front line workers had considered leaving their posts and if they had why, and if they hadn't what it was that kept them engaged. Please read the retention report below.

Using this information CSAC then produced a Cumbria Good Practice Guide to Staff Retention and went on to produce a recruitment and retention strategy.

In 2008 we a employed a Recruitment and Retention Project Officer (Sandy Armstrong) who carried out a range of innovative R&R actvities including designing the Recruitment section of our website for potential care staff.  Sandy has now left us but before she left she produced a very useful Recrutiment and Retention toolkit.  This is available to CSAC members.  Please contact Lesley Gill for more information.
