Today, our Workforce Planning Manager, Emma, and Talent Acquisition Coordinator, Sam, attended a recruitment event at South Lanarkshire College, where they had the pleasure of meeting and engaging with students keen to learn more about careers within the social care sector.

The event provided a fantastic opportunity to showcase the diverse opportunities available at SOL and to highlight the incredible work our teams deliver every day, including our innovative Technology Enabled Support service SOL Connect.

We were also delighted to be joined by Steffanie Arthur, who shared her personal experience of working with SOL while completing her studies. Steffanie provided valuable insight into balancing education and employment, the support available within the organisation, and the rewarding opportunities that a career in social care can offer. Her experience resonated with many students who are considering their own career paths alongside their studies.

We were inspired by the level of enthusiasm, engagement, and curiosity throughout the day. It was inspiring to speak with so many individuals who are passionate about making a difference and exploring future career opportunities.

Alongside the informative discussions, there was also plenty of excitement as students took part in our raffle. Congratulations to our lucky winner, Taylor! 🎉

A sincere thank you to everyone who visited our stand and took the time to speak with us. We thoroughly enjoyed meeting so many talented and motivated individuals and wish you every success in your studies.

We look forward to the possibility of supporting many of you as you take the next step in your career journey!

Yesterday we proudly announced that, following our recent Care Inspectorate inspection, we achieved two Grade 6s — ‘Excellent’ - the highest grade any service can receive!

Today, we’re shining a spotlight on:

🌟 Key Question 1: How well do we support people’s wellbeing? — 6 (Excellent!)

Here are just a few of the highlights from our inspection report:

✨ “People's voices had meaningfully shaped decisions and developments, demonstrating a culture where lived experience genuinely influenced practice.”

✨ “The evolution of 'UPTAE?' demonstrated a proactive and responsive approach that had enhanced social connection, wellbeing, and choice for people receiving support.”

✨ “People had been enabled to take control of their own health and wellbeing through access to the technology.”

✨ “SOL had a demonstrable track record of innovative, effective practice and very high-quality performance across a wide range of its activities and from which others could learn.”

A report like this means the world to us. We never forget why we exist. Our Vision, Mission and Values genuinely guide every decision we make and we stay razor focussed on that no matter what challenges come our way 🎯

Stay tuned tomorrow to hear about our officially ‘Excellent’ staff and the amazing work they do 🌟
