Help us spread the word about the social care recruitment campaign
A recruitment campaign, aimed at encouraging more people to consider a career in social care in Denbighshire is continuing.
Over recent times, the Council has seen an increase in the number of social care vacancies, especially during Covid when demand for social care increased.
The campaign called Gwnewch i bobl wenu/ Make people smile has been launched to raise the profile of careers in social care and to advertise the current vacancies that exist in the county.
This campaign has included mix of advertising on public transport, banners in community locations, adverts in the local media, social media activity and branding on some of the Council’s vehicles. The Council has also been out and about in locations hosting recruitment roadshows and workshops.
The Council has also revamped its information on the Council’s website and has included case studies as videos, in an attempt to encourage more people into the profession. A frequently asked questions section has also been provided to provide answers to some of the most regular questions received.
Anyone interested in a career in social care should visit the website: www.denbighshire.gov.uk/care-jobs.

Mind of my own
Mind of My Own is an online platform that allows children and young people working with Denbighshire Education and Children’s Services to engage with their worker and share their views about the care they receive, their concerns, worries and successes.
Children and young people can access the app on their own at any time, or can use Mind of My Own alongside their allocated worker.
To date, 215 young people have accounts, 154 workers have accounts, 509 statements have been received from children and young people.
Mind of My Own held their Annual Award Ceremony earlier this year to celebrate the fantastic achievements of members of the Mind of My Own community. Our very own Jane Hodgson, Senior Family Support Worker (Team Around the Family) was the well-deserved winner of the Mind of My Own High Flyer Award, recognising her achievement in using the platform in Denbighshire Education & Children’s Services as part of her work with children and young people.
Jane Hodgson
Jane has received over 80 statements from children and young people working with the service, ensuring their views about their life and care are heard and their outcomes and wellbeing are improved.
Well Done Jane!
