How WeCare Wales can help you
What is WeCare Wales?
WeCare Wales is the national attraction, recruitment and retention programme for social care and early years. It aims to raise the profile of the care workforce.
Real Stories
More than 50 videos have been created to highlight the value of working in care. Case studies of Social Workers, Home Care Workers, Nursery Managers, Childminders and many more showcase the wide range of opportunities available in care:

WeCare Wales Jobs Portal
The WeCare Wales Jobs Portal is a free on-line resource advertising all jobs in care. Jobseekers can search for care vacancies in their area.
A Question of Care
Jobseekers are encouraged to try the ‘A Question of Care: a Career for YOU’ quiz. This is a values-based on-line learning resource where people can experience what it’s like working in care. Once two of the challenges have been completed, a personalised report is produced on how well the individuals values are suited to working in care.
Why not use this resource as part of a values-based recruitment exercise?
