New work experience support from Healthcare Horizons
A collection of London NHS organisations and NHS England have created NHS Careers Untapped – a series of podcasts, videos and recorded webinars showcasing some of the lesser-known jobs and professions in healthcare.
This suite of resources is now being made available via the Careers Team at Joined Up Care Derbyshire.
The Careers Untapped programme is aimed at young people aged from 13-19 and careers advisors, who want to find out more about careers in the NHS. The programme supports schools and careers advisors with achieving the Gatsby Benchmarks.
