A DRIVE to recruit more social care staff starts next week.
Durham County Council is joining a national campaign, which will run until February 4, to encourage more people to consider a social care career.
The council has vacancies for social workers, care assistants, home carers, cooks, drivers and domestic staff.
Debbie Jones, the council's director of social care and health, said: "Over the coming weeks, we will be advertising a range of posts as part of our workforce planning for the future.
"There are career opportunities working with children, supporting adults with learning disabilities or mental health needs and providing vital care to older people."
Anyone wanting more details can call 0191-383 3081.
