Abstract
This major research project investigated three sets of influences on recruitment and retention of a social care workforce for older adults: i) local authority (LA) commissioning practices and local labour market conditions; ii) the human resource practices of provider organisations; iii) the experiences and aspirations of the workforce. The project involved three stages of research and the report relates primarily to stages 2 and 3 as the results for stage 1 were reported separately.
