Recruitment and retention of a diverse VCSE workforce
We're all trying to make Greater Manchester a place where people can be healthy, happy, and live fulfilling lives. The way we run our organisations can make a real difference to the VCSE sector staff's health and well-being.
With our VCSE partners, we have been looking into what we can do to look after and nurture the people that we work with - to understand what the current challenges are for supporting our workforce. In response to this research, we launched The VCSE Workforce Development Project in 2023 to address issues such as recruitment, nurturing new talent, diversity and inclusion, leadership and well-being.
10GM has worked with Greater Manchester's Local VCSE Infrastructure Organisations to establish a collective workforce development hub for the sector focusing on key priorities that align with the GM Workforce Strategy / People Plan and the Health Education England Workforce Development Priorities.

Our Greater Manchester State of the VCSE Sector report 2021 identified that there were a total of 75,610 paid employees (equal to 46,122 FTE) in the voluntary, community and social enterprise (VCSE) sector in Greater Manchester. These paid staff sat alongside a total of 496,609 volunteers (including committee members and trustees). Most of our organisations face workforce challenges and also want to show leadership by being inclusive and supportive employers.
In late 2019, we worked with NHS colleagues to increase our understanding of the VCSE sector's workforce and in particular how well-being is supported. Below is a short video in which one of our 10GM Directors, Mike Wild, discusses some of the issues around workforce wellbeing in our sector - and why it's important that we pay attention to it.
