Agenda
It’s who we are, not just what we do,
Is it something that’s inside you too?
Can you rise to the challenge, and say
I want to support a life each day?
Do you want to change the way
A person copes from day to day?
Can you be the difference to someone,
To make them confident and strong?
Join us today,
So that you can stand and say……
We are Proud to Care,
For Gloucestershire we’re there,
To take the time to walk beside those
Who sometimes need a hand to hold.
We’re searching now for your light -
Raise it high and make it bright!
We’ll search for it everywhere,
To find those who are Proud to Care.
Song written by: Ellie O’Regan
Performed by: Students from The Dean Academy School, Lydney.
Proud to Care Song 🎼
About Proud to Care South West Gloucestershire is one of sixteen counties in
the South West who have joined forces for
the Proud to Care South West campaign
aiming to bring more people into the Health
& Social Care Sector across the South West.
The campaign has identified three groups of potential
employees; 16 – 25 year olds, parent returners who have had
a career break and people 55+ (perhaps looking for a
second career that gives them real satisfaction).
A media campaign for Proud to Care South West (with
advertising on Sky TV, Facebook, Twitter, in regional
newspapers, on Internet Search Engines and selected
websites) is running July to December 2017, directing people
who are interested by the advertising to the Proud to Care
South West website, where they will be able to select the
county where they are interested in working.
Proud to Care
Gloucestershire In November Proud to Care
Gloucestershire is launching to
providers and will commence its
media launch to the wider public
in January 2018. This will include
Facebook Ads, YouTube Ads,

engagement; all of these
avenues will be pointing people

employed by Gloucestershire County Council to work
exclusively on this project, supporting providers/employers in
their challenge to meet the staffing requirements in their

Proud to Care Glos. is led by a multi-agency strategy group
who have devised a Year One action plan with key
outcomes identified. The Year One priority for the Proud to
Care Gloucestershire campaign is recruitment into the
Domiciliary care Sector, with ambitious plans in the pipeline
for future initiatives supporting both recruitment & retention.

initiative. Once you are part of the partnership, you can
nominate members of your staff to become Proud to Care
Ambassadors.
Proud to Care Ambassadors will be part of a network of
individuals working in the sector to promote careers in health &
social care to individuals considering their career options. This
will be through different careers activities such as; talks,
presentations, interactive group activities, information stands,
mentoring and media activities. There is no fixed time
commitment.
Why get involved the Ambassador
partnership?
Attract more people – One in four
people are more interested in a
career in care having heard from
an ambassador.
Boost your business – When your
staff share why they love their job,
it will encourage others to choose
or recommend your organisation.
Motivate your staff – 70% of care
ambassadors feel more confident
and motivated in their work as a
result of being an ambassador.
Develop your staff – Becoming a PTC Ambassador is a
fantastic learning and development opportunity.
Cut your recruitment costs – PTC Ambassadors can help
you attract more informed people who have what it
takes to work in social care.
