Get a helping hand into a health and social care career

25th January 2023

Healthcare_Assistant_Emma_Oldershaw_Bridport_Hospital_07.jpgIn partnership with The Prince’s Trust, Dorset HealthCare is running a series of job skills workshops to help young people start careers in health and social care.

Anyone aged 18-30 can attend the free three-hour events, which are running around Dorset during February and March.

The sessions will have a wide range of practical support and advice, including:

  • identifying what type of job would suit individuals
  • highlighting available roles in the local area
  • support with application writing
  • help with interview techniques.

After attending the workshop, each person will receive follow-up mentoring and support for three months to help them achieve their goal of employment.

There are still places available at the events, which are all taking place at Trust sites across the county:

  • 1 February, 1-4pm – Trust headquarters, Sentinel House, Poole, BH17 0RB
  • 15 February, 12-3pm – Kings Park Hospital, Boscombe, BH7 6JF
  • 15 March, 10am-1pm – Yeatman Hospital, Sherborne, DT9 3JU.

Katy Elder, Widening Participation Co-ordinator at Dorset HealthCare, said:

“We have organised these workshops to give local people the opportunity to discover how a health and social care career could be for them, so they can help others and also create a better future for themselves.”
