Buckingham Palace Garden Party invite for Sheffcare’s Chloe and Merewyn
Chloe Wiseman and Merewyn Scafe left their duties with Sheffield care home charity Sheffcare for the day as they enjoyed being guests at a Buckingham Palace Garden Party.
Merewyn, who is Sheffcare’s Director of HR, and HR Advisor Chloe were invited to the event hosted in the palace gardens by the King and Queen, in recognition of their work supporting recruitment to adult social care.
Sheffcare has recently been used as the blueprint for a new national recruitment toolkit within the social care world.
Skills for Care - the nationwide commissioner, provider and influencer of research into the adult social care workforce - created its new suite of practical approach toolkits following extensive collaboration with Sheffcare, the not-for-profit organisation that operates nine care homes across Sheffield.
The toolkits break down how Sheffcare created successful models, giving organisations the practical detail needed to adapt these approaches within their own context.
Sheffcare was selected as a model because its centralised, values‑led recruitment model has strengthened the charity’s consistency, improved candidate experience and significantly reduced early turnover across its nine care homes.
“We are delighted that Merewyn and Chloe were able to represent the Sheffcare HR team at such an important event,” said Sheffcare Chief Executive Claire Rintoul.
“They were there as representatives of everybody who has put so much hard work into creating a system that is now making a genuine impact nationally and proving that Sheffcare, as well as proving the best support for all our residents, is also a major influence on care provision across the country.”
