The Prince’s Trust was founded in 1976, when His Royal Highness Prince Charles noticed young people in the UK were not receiving adequate help and support to move into education, employment or training. To date, The Prince’s Trust has helped over a million young people find the tools and confidence to achieve their dreams. Our projects with The Trust enables Leeds City College to support health and social care, provide access to the STEM industry, and equip young people in Leeds with skills and employment.
A healthcare-based employment initiative for 18-30 year olds that guarantees you an interview in just six weeks! If helping others has always appealed to you, then this is your chance to use your skills in a life-changing industry.
Did you know that there are, on average, over 100,000 vacancies in the NHS at any given time? It’s not only on the front line either – crucial work takes place every day behind the scenes. By getting skilled people into employment, we can ensure our National Health Service continues to thrive and helps those who need it most.
It’s not just the NHS that you can access – you can also work in a whole host of roles across the private sector including care homes, dentists, foster care homes and nurseries. We’re aiming to get 75 adults, aged 18-30 years old, into employment and place them in positions ranging from clinical support roles to admin and corporate services.
The sectors and roles we are recruiting for include:
Training will take place in college and will be delivered by staff from both the college and The Prince’s Trust. Your training allows you to earn qualifications for your sector in job-specific skills, such as customer service, essential digital skills or safeguarding.
We will secure you work experience with an organisation where you can put the skills you’ve learnt into practice. Please note: work placements will be dependent upon current COVID-19/lockdown restrictions.
This is where your overall skills development will be reviewed by your programme mentor. You will also receive interview and employability support in areas including interview question preparation, staging mock interviews, and/or individualised coaching with your mentor.
You will have the opportunity to interview for paid, full-time employment with either the company/business who hosted your work experience or another health and social care employer.
Anyone who is 18-30 years old, wanting to work in the NHS, private healthcare or social care, and who is either finishing a college course; not in education, employment or training; or looking to change careers.
