FUN FACT ABOUT YOUR JOB
WHAT DID YOU WANT TO BE AT AGE 15?
With over 350 roles in Health and Social Care, I get
to explain what these roles are and help students to
make their career choices ...... and the staff discount
benefits are great too!
I wanted to work as a solicitor, work in a bank or as
a personal assistant (PA).
WHAT IS YOUR CAREER NOW?
Admin and Project Support
HOW IS YOUR CAREER
CONNECTED TO HEALTH?
As a Project Support Officer I help with many
projects, such as promoting NHS careers to school
and college students, promoting support services and
training to staff, and promoting apprenticeships to
those thinking about a career in Health or Social Care.
I also support staff looking for job progression.

BEST BIT OF JOB
I work with a great team, attend and support some
great informative webinars, and really feel positive
that we are helping to recruit the next generation of
Health and Social Care heroes.
WHAT JOB CHALLENGES DO YOU FACE?
The pandemic has meant that we have had to look
at how we promote services to schools, students and
staff. Now, a lot of the work we do and events we
host are done virtually, which means that we lose that
personal feel and there are occasionally WIFI issues!
