Hiring With Conviction

The adult social care sector faces difficulties in finding the right staff, meanwhile 12.3m people with convictions are often overlooked by hiring managers. During this webinar you’ll learn how to begin a more inclusive approach to recruitment, the significant benefits of employing individuals with experience of the criminal justice system, and how to approach and manage risk or concerns.

People with convictions have often overcome adversity and deserve a chance to rebuild their lives and forge meaningful careers.

The session will cover:

• What challenges does the adult social care sector face in terms of recruitment and retention?
• How do people end up in the criminal justice system and what does it mean to look for a job with a criminal record?
• What are employers’ attitudes towards people with convictions and how are they changing?
• How can adult social care organisations take a measured and appropriate approach to risk?

You will have the opportunity to ask questions of Working Chance’s experts and feel ready to start taking steps towards proactively hiring people with convictions.
