People Hub Cornwall employability support programme
We are excited to be one of the People Hub specialist partners representing the NHS in Cornwall and the Isles of Scilly and the many different, varied job opportunities there are within health and care.
As the NHS is one of the largest employers in Cornwall, with over 350 different job opportunities, plus apprenticeships and volunteering, our People Hub Team can support participants from across Cornwall and the Isles of Scilly into health and care careers.
By signing up to the People Hub employability support programme with the Trust, participants can access:
- 1 to 1 personalised support and mentoring, which enables a much higher chance of being shortlisted to interview, and employment success
- an introduction to working in health and care 3-day virtual programme which enables participants to gain more of an understanding of the NHS as a whole, meet different professionals and hear about their job roles, and covers in-depth workshops focusing on NHS recruitment and how to apply for NHS jobs
- support with job searching and job matching, job applications, and interviews
- e-learning, focusing on key skills and knowledge required for non-clinical, and clinical roles (to become employment ready)
- work shadowing and volunteering (where capacity allows)
- financial assistance to help with travel and childcare costs when accessing work shadowing or training
- continued support through the NHS recruitment processes
If you are interested in working in the health and care sector and are a Cornwall or Isles of Scilly resident aged 16 or older and have the right to work in the UK, we can help support you into employment.
People Hub Cornwall can be your stepping stone into employment. Where will your journey start?
Testimonials
“All of the help I received started getting me shortlisted for every role I seemed to be applying for. I have been successful in finding full time work within a NHS environment. I felt fully supported the entire time: thank you everyone.”
“The help I got with my statement for the application and the interview preparation was invaluable.”
“The programme has taught me how my skills can be best utilised within the NHS and the kind of roles which would suit me. The supporting statement tips and help I received have been really useful in learning how to write a strong application. I know I can use this skill for writing other job applications too, so I'm thrilled."
