Promoting Opportunities
for Inclusion in Social care Employment (POISE)
The partnership aims to explore
staff recruitment and retention issues in the care sector in Northern
Ireland focussing initially on the North Down and Ards/North and
West Belfast areas with a view to mainstreaming its findings throughout
Northern Ireland.
The partnership will work
collaboratively to review practices relating to the recruitment
and retention of staff in the care sector focussing on equal opportunity
issues.
The project objectives will
include the development of measures to combat attitudes that inhibit
women’s entry to and progression within the labour market;
• working with employers
to adopt working practices that enable women to progress within
employment;
• measures to encourage men and women to enter professions
in which they are traditionally underrepresented; and
• Facilitation of unemployed people and school leavers
to join the care workforce.
