About this listen

The social care sector is experiencing one of the most significant workforce challenges in decades. But the path forward isn’t just about posting more vacancies - it’s about building meaningful connections with the people who want to make a difference.

In this episode of A Better Way: The Workforce Solutions Podcast, Darren Topping sits down with Adam Barrett and Aaron Wawman to explore how local authorities can shift from reactive hiring to creating engaged, future-ready talent communities.

Here’s what they dive into:
- The systemic workforce pressures shaping social care
- Why candidate experience has suffered — and how to fix it
- The shift from talent pools to talent communities
- How technology can enhance real-time communication and trust
- Why connection, transparency, and empathy are now competitive advantages

This is a must-watch conversation for anyone working in public sector recruitment, workforce planning, or social care transformation.
