Social care and support providers in Scotland are finding it hard to recruit and keep staff with many workers choosing to leave the sector, according to the Coalition of Care and Support Providers in Scotland (CCPS).
Its research discovered an average of 52% of staff who moved jobs last year left social care, while almost three quarters of organisations reported a high staff turnover between 2021 and 2022.
A total of 73% of organisations delivering social care said staff turnover had increased by 14% between 2020 and 2021.
