Created in partnership with The Prince’s Trust, these programmes can lead to fulfilling careers in organisations where you can make a real difference.
Forge a rewarding career in the NHS or your local care home whilst using your skills to give back to your community, with our health care project.
Take your first step into the world of science, technology, engineering or mathematics, with one of our Get into STEM programmes.
The Prince’s Trust was founded in 1976, when His Majesty King Charles III (previously His Royal Highness The Prince of Wales) 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 one 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.
If you’ve always wanted to help others, then this is your chance to use your skills in a life-changing industry. Our healthcare-based employment initiative guarantees you an interview in just six weeks!
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 administration and corporate services.
The sectors and examples of the roles we are recruiting for include:
Administration – receptionists, health record administrators
Clinical Support – healthcare assistants, care support workers
Corporate Services – HR, IT support, PR and communications
Domestic Services – catering assistants, cleaning operatives, hospital porters
Estate Services – maintenance workers, electricians, plumbers
Support Services – security officers, health & safety advisors
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.
