Be The Missing Piece: Recruitment Campaign

Sheffield City CouncilLocal Government & Social Care

We planned and executed Sheffield City Council's 'Be The Missing Piece' recruitment campaign to encourage more young people to enter careers in Adult Health & Social Care, driving hundreds of potential carers to open days, career workshops and job applications.

The Challenge

Sheffield City Council needed to address a critical shortage of social care workers in the Sheffield area. They required a comprehensive recruitment push to attract more applications, particularly from younger people, and needed to showcase the rewarding nature of careers in Adult Health & Social Care.

The Solution

We delivered a full-service campaign including strategy development, video production showcasing career opportunities, advertising design, social media content creation, and a dedicated campaign website. We also conducted professional photography sessions capturing the diversity of carers and the bonds between teams and service users. The campaign culminated in a major open day at Sheffield Town Hall where candidates could meet agencies and learn about available roles.

The Open Day Success

The photos below are from the amazingly successful open day for the campaign, which brought in hundreds of potential social workers to talk with agencies with vacancies. This is one of our proudest campaigns ever. Not just for its success but for the real tangible difference it made to the people of Sheffield.
