A new employability venture though the volunteer service

October 24, 2019

We are starting a new project called World of Work (WoW) which is a unique work experience placement programme specifically designed and funded for job seekers and unemployed people who are age 25 plus, that meet the referral criteria, and live within the Birmingham and Solihull catchment area.

World of Work could be for you or someone you know, especially if:

You are age 25 plus, unemployed, want to be ‘job ready’ and live in Birmingham within three to five miles of City Hospital.

You have no formal qualifications, but really want to pursue a career in the Healthcare sector.

You currently volunteer in a healthcare related setting but you now require retraining and accredited qualifications.

You have the capacity to attend 16 hours of development training for eight weeks including work-based experience as a placement across Sandwell and West Birmingham NHS Trust or with external health and social care service partner organisations, community projects or schools.

You’ve often thought about applying for a job within the NHS… but you didn’t apply due to having no recent or valid work experience.

If YES to at least three of any of the above then the World of Work ‘Pathway to Employment’ at Sandwell and West Birmingham NHS Trust might be just for you.
