We are running a FREE programme to start your first steps along the Health and Social Care Career Pathway, and into a rewarding job, where you can make a difference to the lives of others.
‘Step into Care’ is an opportunity for the people of East Lindsey to hear from those who already work in social care, through insightful talks and first-hand work experiences.
We will help you have an understanding of what is available, help you build on your confidence, enhance your employability skills, from CV’s, applications and interview experience from employers and help you to gain relevant qualifications, which will help you into the role most suited to you.
