One NHS Finance is holding a national webinar on Thursday 2 May from 6 – 7 pm for students, parents and colleges to find out more about the NHS Finance Insights Placement Scheme.
The NHS Finance Insights placement scheme offers paid work experience in NHS organisations throughout England to individuals aged 18 and above, who do not plan to attend university and come from lower socio-economic backgrounds.
The scheme aims to attract diverse talent from local communities served by the NHS into the finance sector.
It provides a 12-month experience in an entry-level (band 2) finance role, allowing candidates to develop new skills and gain on-the-job work experience.
Upon completion of the placement, each candidate should feel well-prepared to apply for NHS opportunities, including apprenticeships or other entry-level roles, and be confident in transitioning to professional working environments.
Lee Outhwaite, Chief Finance Officer at NHS South Yorkshire said:
“Working in the NHS is a great career choice as not only is it rewarding, you will also enjoy one of the most competitive and flexible benefits packages offered by any employer in the UK.
“Some people may think that working in finance has little impact on patients but ultimately the NHS finance teams help to run the service and provide value and quality for both patients and staff. If you want to make a difference to the delivery of patient care, join the webinar in May to find out more.”
Applications for the scheme need to be received by May 24, 2024 so join the webinar on 2 May to find out more!
