Workforce Strategy
Bexley Council's Adult Social Care services have seen improved permanent staffing and reduced vacancies due to its workforce development plan.
Bexley Council's Adult Social Care services reported improved permanent staffing levels and a reduction in vacancies in March 2026. A report to the Adult Social Care & Health Overview and Scrutiny Committee stated that the proportion of permanent posts rose from 57% to 69% between December 2023 and December 2025, attributed to a comprehensive workforce strategy.
This workforce strategy, a plan for managing and developing an organisation's staff, also led to a 30% reduction in net vacancies within Bexley's Adult Social Care services. No further discussions or decisions regarding workforce strategy are currently scheduled across the councils.
