The Prince’s Trust: Health and Social Care Future's Fund
Here at Qube, we have partnered with youth charity, The Prince’s Trust, to recruit and place young people into roles within the healthcare and adult social care industry. The scheme, funded by the Department for Health and Social Care and in partnership with Health Education England, will not only support young jobseekers into the world of work, but also support Employers in the industry to fill their vacancies.
About the Prince’s Trust
The youth charity, founded in 1976 by His Royal Highness, The Prince of Wales, helps vulnerable young people get their lives on track. Supporting 11 to 30-year-olds all over the UK to build their confidence and skills to support them into jobs, education, and training.
How will this be achieved?
This will be achieved by Qube identifying eligible young people and providing them with high quality employability skills development.
Once we have completed our interventions with the young person and they are ‘job ready’, we are looking to Employers, to provide the opportunity for the young person to be considered for one of your current job vacancies, or Traineeship and Apprenticeship vacancies.
What are the benefits to Employers?
- The opportunity to collaborate with The Prince’s Trust and Qube Learning.
- Receive a pipeline of ‘job ready’ young people, eager to fill your job vacancies.
- Progression routes through Traineeships or Apprenticeships can result in government incentive payments up to £5,000*.
- Succession planning for the sector’s ageing workforce.
What roles are eligible for the scheme and is my business eligible to participate?
All jobs and Apprenticeships within health and social care organisations and their supply chains are within scope for this programme, and example roles could include healthcare assistants, support workers, IT support roles, catering, finance, administration, facilities management, or health logistics.
Eligible roles can be in the NHS, private healthcare organisations, social care providers (such as care agencies or care homes), or organisations that supply to the NHS/care system.
