Can you provide work placements and/or Apprenticeship opportunities?
As an Anchor organisation and Employer of choice, we recognise the link between health and work and the need to widen access to its workforce and enhance the life chances of those within its local communities.
Lorraine Scott, HR Business Partner – Employability, NHS Lanarkshire commented: “Our Employability Hub Team has supported young people on Foundation and Modern apprenticeships in 2022/23, along with those on our NHS Demonstrator Programme aimed at long term unemployed individuals, by delivering employability workshops and offering one to one support.
“Some staff are already involved with the Hub and find it hugely rewarding by supporting individuals to develop their skills and helping to secure permanent employment.
“By engaging with our future workforce, it helps many people in our local communities. There are various ways for potential recruits to interact with our organisation and we feel we benefit from the diverse skills and experience that they have to offer.
