We have developed a five-year Workforce Strategy around three priorities identified in partnership with the care sector.
You can read more about the three priorities on this page.
Crisis fund to support care workers
Solihull Council has set up a crisis fund to support care workers who are experiencing financial hardship to remain in the care sector.
The fund, administered by The Care Workers’ Charity, will offer grants to care workers living or working in the borough who are currently employed in the sector. These could be workers providing care to people in their own homes or in a Solihull care home. The grants will be up to £1,000 for current care workers and up to £500 for new starters who meet certain criteria.
More information and an application form is available on The Care Workers Charity website.
