Career tips for people starting out

- Transferable skills matter – customer service, admin, teamwork, time‑management and communication skills are highly relevant across health and care roles
- Use work experience and volunteering to build confidence, learn about roles, and strengthen applications
- Tailor applications – match your skills and examples to the job description, even if they come from school, caring responsibilities or other sectors
- Think long‑term – entry‑level roles and apprenticeships can be a starting point for progression into clinical, professional or specialist careers
