GM VCSE Workforce Development Survey

The GM VCSE Reference Group and GM Health and Social Care Partnership are seeking to increase cross sector understanding of our great VCSE workforce. To take this forward, Macc and Connected Consultants are working in partnership to try and engage with as many VCSE leaders as possible to explore workforce development, HR challenges and any recommendations for the VCSE sector, the public sector, or our commissioners.

We’d like to invite you complete this questionnaire to help us with this piece of work. It will take approx. 20 minutes to complete and will enable us to further develop our understanding of the VCSE workforce needs.
