Get free support to develop your ideas to improve recruitment and retention

Our innovation coaching service is now open for a second round of applications .

We launched the free service in September to help you get the best out of your ideas to improve social care in Wales.

The focus this time around is on supporting efforts to improve recruitment and retention, so send us your ideas and we’ll help you put them into practice.

Our team of innovation coaches are here to support you to test your ideas safely and help them to reach their full potential.

Our expression-of-interest process for projects focused on recruitment and retention is now open.

Please use our recruitment and retention application form if your idea falls into this theme.

We’ll still consider projects beyond recruitment and retention during this application window, so please make an application through our general application form if you’ve got a great idea to improve any aspect of social care.

If you’re not sure whether your project is suitable, our coaches can help you decide whether to make an application. Contact them by e-mailing innovationcoaching@socialcare.wales.
