Employability support
Get into healthcare support
Whether you are looking at healthcare support worker roles, apprenticeships, administration positions or many others within the sector, we want to be able to help you be the best candidate for each job you apply to, with an inside track from people within the organisations that you will be applying for. We can assist you in the following ways:
1-1 mentoring
Our 1-1 mentoring works for 18-30 year olds – starting with a get to know you chat, exploring the different interests you have and the opportunities that health and social care have to offer. We then help find you roles that suit you, proof read any applications and supporting information before keeping in contact throughout the application process.
Application writing for the NHS
Have you ever looked at a job advert and not known where to start? Opened the application and it felt too overwhelming or long? In these workshops we can look over job descriptions, person specifications and everything you need to feel confident to fill in the supporting information on each and every application.
Interview practice
Whether you have had any assistance with the application or not, we are also here to help you prepare for interviews.
Employability days
Employability days are a full day packed with information on the NHS, insights into available live job adverts, assistance with applications as well as the opportunity to have a mock interview and top tips from health and social care employers.
We focus on parts of applying that can often be a barrier to young people joining the health and social care sector and provide three months of assistance after the day to help each candidate find a role that suits them.
