Communities within the Bradford District experience high level of inequalities in various guises, which can include social mobility. However, the team are focused on breaking down these barriers and providing opportunities to those who may have not necessarily have thought of a career within the NHS or Social Care.
The team pro-actively engages within the community, whilst attending careers events in the locality, providing advice and guidance to schools as well and engaging with the local community.
We have participated in various employment programmes, including sector based work academies, Kickstart programmes and T-levels to name a few .
Careers Ambassadors
The work of widening participation is also linked to the roles of careers ambassadors who are key in championing what we do in the NHS and social care. If you would like to sign up to become a careers ambassador, please email, us on careers.ambassdors@bthft.nhs.uk As we promote more cross working and follow on from our ‘Act as One’ ethos, we are hoping to align with the belief that grass roots recruitment aimed at young people across Bradford and Craven district can truly make a difference to our future workforce gaps in years to come.
