| Annotation | This report presents an overview of the adult social care sector: its size (some 1.55 million jobs), employment information, recruitment and retention issues, workforce demographics, pay and qualification rates, and future workforce forecasts. In 2015, around 19,300 organisations were involved in providing or organising adult social care in England; and around 40,100 establishments were involved in providing or organising adult social care in England. Around 235,000 adults, older people and carers received direct payments from councils' social services departments in 2014/2015, of which approximately 65,000 (28%) of these recipients were employing their own staff. Among other key findings are that workers had an average of eight years of experience in the sector and four years of experience in a role. A worker's average age was 43 years old: a fifth were aged over 55. (RH). |
