The CHAOS Bus Tour – Superheroes of Health and Social Care
The CHAOS Group at Tregolls Road in Truro has been open for business for just over 7 years. Comprising of six partners, working hard to support everyone in the community. We span a range of industries including health and social care, agriculture, hair and beauty and online broadcasting! We strive to offer a range of community services too including creative media services, co-production and engagement tools.
They are partners on several employment projects and through these projects they focus on inspiring and supporting people on pathways into care. This can be support with work experience, CV writing, interview preparation or even exploring the sector and its many roles.
The current recruitment crisis in Health and Social care has been greatly noticed in these projects and the stress and worry is shared throughout the whole sector. Here at CHAOS, we like to think outside the box and we have put our creative hats on to see how we can utilise our resources and support the sector at this time of need.
