Summary of project

NHS Careers Untapped was established in the London region 2021/22 and ran over 3 academic years until 2023/24.  The purpose of NHS Careers Untapped was to showcase clinical and non-clinical careers on lesser-known roles in healthcare, using videos, podcasts, and webinars to young people. The rationale for establishing the project was firstly because during Covid-19 there were minimal/ no face-to-face work opportunities available for YP and secondly to improve perceptions in YP and careers advisors about the range of roles available in the NHS.

This project was primarily focused on YP aged between 13-19 and aimed to support them to learn more about careers in the healthcare sector in an accessible, equitable and flexible way to both widen participation and provide opportunity to YP from disadvantaged backgrounds.  It aimed to encourage and promote awareness of careers in healthcare to all YP, thus contributing to the development of the future NHS workforce.

 

Over the duration of the Careers Untapped Project, over 100 out of the 350 different careers in the NHS were showcased.
