The Care Workers’ Charity (CWC) has launched their Care Workers Advisory Board and Care Worker Champions Project.  

Supported by The Rayne Foundation, this project seeks to give a stronger voice to care workers and address critical policy issues affecting the social care sector. 

Applications for Care Workers Advisory Board Members and Care Worker Champions opened on 15th September 2024. The roles are only open to frontline care workers in the UK and come with compensation for individual’s time and contributions. No closing date has been given: CWC are keen to extend the recruitment for these roles far and wide to ensure a diverse range of expertise and experience is included.
