Help us power Greater Manchester’s search for life-changing people like you!

We’ll be filming interviews with residential childcare professionals in Greater Manchester in September. Once participants are confirmed, we’ll be in touch to arrange a date and location that’s convenient for you.

Simply share your story and chat about your work in residential childcare on camera! Our fantastic videographer and other members of the #IfYouCareYouCan team will carry out an informal, relaxed and fun interview giving you the opportunity to speak about your work, the difference you make, the highs and lows of your important work and daily life changing lives.

Your interview and video footage will form part of a series of campaign films and social media content promoting careers in residential childcare to a wider audience. Your words, images and video footage will be used on the campaign website, in social media promotions, in press and associated campaign activities. You’ll be asked to sign an interview release form on the day confirming exactly how your interview will be used. By taking part, you will become a face of the Greater Manchester #IfYouCareYouCan campaign and make a real difference to the lives of children and young people at a time of severe staff shortages in the sector.

Check out the wider #IfYouCareYouCan campaign YouTube Channel see how other residential childcare practitioners have shared their stories.

We will only use your first name in any films or content, and will never provide details of your full name or place of work unless you want us to.
