Dorset disabilities charity, Diverse Abilities has launched a brand new podcast offering an insight into the care industry.
The ‘Reasons to Care’ podcast, hosted by Clare Rochford, Children’s Team Manager, and Michelle Turner, Deputy Manager in the charity’s Supported Living Team, takes a look at the world of working in the sector.
They will be joined by guests including colleagues from across the charity, family members of people supported by the charity and local businesses, telling uplifting stories with the aim of motivating and inspiring.
It’s aiming to reach those who are interested in working for the charity, volunteering, fundraising, or simply looking to learn more about what goes on in health and social care.
Reasons to Care will look to give listeners a unique insight into what it is like to work in care, the variety of roles available and the opportunities for career progression.
Michelle Turner, Deputy Manager for Supported Living at Diverse Abilities, said: “It has been a fantastic opportunity to record this podcast, and speak to a wide range of people linked to the charity.
“We can’t wait to do lots more! Many people don’t consider a career in care, and we want to change this by telling people about the variety of roles available, the training they can receive and how they will make a huge difference to the children, adults, and families we support.”
The podcast has been produced locally, with Podcast Labs, who have built their team and agency in Poole and Bournemouth.
Kelly James, Managing Director and Co-Founder of Podcast Labs, added: “We are really excited to launch the Reasons to Care podcast with Diverse Abilities.
“The conversations really give you an insight into the charity, and there’s some really great stories.
“There’s nothing else like this out there that explores the care industry from this perspective, so we really are offering something unique.”
