It is well known that Scotland urgently needs more people to work in Health & Social Care (H&SC). As a result, we, at Capital City Partnership (CCP) are pleased to be launching our Proud to Care campaign across the 6 Local Authorities involved in the Edinburgh and South East Scotland City Deal (Edinburgh, East Lothian, Midlothian, West Lothian, Fife and the Scottish Borders).
We have created an informative video with a supporting suite of social media content depicting a variety of inspirational individuals across the sector. You will see that all who feature want to share their experiences and how they, themselves, make a difference. They illustrate that although at times, it can be hard work and demanding they would like to entice viewers to consider this as a career offering rewarding, challenging, diverse and accommodating opportunities and it may be ‘one of the best things you will ever do!’
