In the midst of the COVID-19 health crisis, demand for talent from hospitals has surged across the country and the need to recruit the right people to meet that demand is urgent. This collaboration serves to address the health and social care sector’s urgent hiring needs while supporting unemployed young people into training and work.
On top of digitisation of the core programme, the support from JPMorgan Chase will help The Prince’s Trust to increase its outreach efforts, job placements, and mentoring and coaching support for the young people. With this funding, in the next 11 months, more than 1,000 young people will receive support through the programme. Participants will be connected with work opportunities, with an aim for half to secure roles in health and social care after the completion of the programme.

Ruby Smith, NHS Director at The Prince’s Trust, said: “There is an incredible amount of talent, skill and insight that young people could be contributing to our healthcare system, particularly at this time of great need. We’re delighted to be working with JPMorgan Chase to connect young people who are looking for work with the employers in health and social care who are looking for their future workforce. For young people and for our healthcare system, we’re living in uncertain and scary times, but we are here to offer some hope. There’s no doubt this collaboration will empower young people to make transformational changes to their futures and will add unquantifiable benefits to our healthcare system.”
