The NHS Career Gateway is a proven model for improving recruitment, training, and retention in early-career NHS roles.
Why It Works:
- Staff are better prepared and more confident
- Teams are less disrupted by new starters
- Retention improves, reducing recruitment costs
- Learners are paid from day one, improving access and social mobility
What’s Included:
- A 6-week training course co-designed with NHS experts
- Virtual Reality training and simulation equipment
- Qualifications including the Care Certificate and Mental Health First Aid
- A scalable, sustainable model funded through the Adult Skills Fund
We’re already supporting other colleges and trusts to deliver this programme. If you’d like to bring the NHS Career Gateway to your area, get in touch — we’d love to help.
