#HealthcareCareers

We are running a month-long campaign inspiring young people aged 14-24 to consider careers in the Health and Science sector.

Join us as we showcase all careers and pathways in to the sector, provide case studies of people working in the sector and tips and advice on working in health and social care.

“As an organisation working to improve youth employment, young people often tell us that they aren’t aware of the opportunities available to them, they struggle to find work experience and often feel they have been underprepared with the skills they need for work. Campaigns like these allow us to showcase the full range of exciting opportunities within the sector” Lauren Mistry, Youth Employment UK

Health and science careers

The NHS turns 70 this week (5th July), in the past 70 years a lot has changed, from the symptoms and diseases we suffer to the treatments, medicines and machines needed to support us. What hasn’t changed is the need for people just like you to do a whole host of jobs needed to keep us all in safe, well and looked after.

This Campaign Will:

  • Target 14-24 year olds who are in education, employment and training and those who are unemployed
  • Showcase a range of career roles and pathways available in the sector
  • Provide impartial information, case studies, tips and advice to young people on the routes into the sector – traineeships, apprenticeships, graduate roles etc
  • Introduce young people to the range of employers invested in supporting young people in the sector
  • Encourage young people to become Young Professionals and build their skills and confidence for employment, education and training.
