The majority of TNAs are currently based in acute health settings and would greatly benefit from a placement within a care setting. The length of placement is usually between 2 and 8 weeks, completing approx. 37.5 hrs per week. The role of the external placement supervisor is to provide the TNA with an induction into their organisation’s policies and practice, and to provide guidance and support (refer to attached handbook for further guidance). A small fee is paid to each provider to cover any costs involved in facilitating a TNA placement, the fee is approximately £30.00 per day.

Devon County Council is looking to engage with rural micro businesses (fewer than 10 employees) to find out what might be preventing them from boosting their productivity and what could help.
The ‘Engaging Rural Micros’ project initially aims to speak to over 100 micro businesses in Mid and North Devon, through short surveys, conversations, focus groups and other research. Health and social care businesses are one of four key sectors which are at the centre of the study.
The project findings will inform the design of a new trial to help prepare businesses to embrace development opportunities. Businesses involved in the research will be able to express an interest in taking part in the trial.
Our next Proud to Care campaign will be attracting young people to careers in health and social care. The campaign, funded by Health Education England, will cover Devon, Plymouth and Torbay.
We’ll be producing a short, fast-paced film clip promoting the range of opportunities in the sector. The film clip will be targeted to attract people aged 17 – 25 who may not have previously considered a career in health and social care. Our advertising will be online using social media such as Instagram, Snapchat and Facebook, directing people to the Proud to Care Devon website which has information on different roles in health and social care, education and training, and live vacancies including apprenticeships.
More to follow in the next penpal! |
