If you are at the beginning of your university journey, or even part way through, there are still many benefits of attending a careers fair. This includes meeting with professionals outside of your placements areas and gaining an understanding of high competition job vacancies. It is never too early to be looking for your future employer, and we invite university students in relevant fields to attend our events and feed your curiosity.
Nursing, Midwifery & ODP Events
Nursing, Midwifery & ODP Events
We have a strong reputation for hosting Nursing, ODP and Midwifery events and take pleasure in welcoming healthcare professionals with a wide range of experiences through our doors. Due to our size as a large NHS trust, our open days tend to be site specific and relate to job opportunities at Bury, Rochdale, Oldham or Salford. In this way, you can narrow down your location of choice and chat comfortably to clinical managers across a range of specialties. If you’re a final year student, undecided about your future career path, our events can provide the perfect opportunity for you to discover your passions by talking to senior colleagues and hearing about our preceptorship programme. We tend to get busy really quickly at these events, so be advised to book your place as soon as a date has been announced to avoid disappointment. If interviews are available during the running of the day, this will always be stated in the description.
Allied Health Profession and Healthcare Science Events
Allied Health Profession and Healthcare Science Events
Our Allied Health Profession (AHP) and Healthcare Science (HCS) open days provide a close and unique environment to chat informally with members of our teams. On arrival, you will be invited to walk around a variety of tables, staffed by clinical teams from different specialties. Teams give presentations and senior colleagues talk about their journey into the profession and provide more information on how the NCA can support you in your career. If you’re visiting a speciality specific event, you’ll be able to tour our facilities and get a feel for where you could be working, whether this is a department, ward or laboratory-based role. We’re always interested in hearing from final year students, qualified AHPs and HCS and those looking to return to practice, however, please always view the event description for attendance criteria.
Entry Level Events
Entry Level Events
We hold recruitment events, aimed at entry level roles several times throughout the year, as well as attending hosted job fairs. Whether you are just thinking about a career in healthcare or looking for a new challenge, these events are an opportunity to speak with colleagues about the 350+ career paths in the NHS and what it’s like working with us in the Northern Care Alliance. We appreciate that sometimes there are barriers to applying for jobs or you might not feel quite ready, so we try to hold our events in community locations that are easily accessible. We also partner with local organisations to provide help and advice on preparing for work in the NHS. We know the thought of starting a new job can be quite daunting and it’s only natural to wonder if you’re making the right career step. By attending one of our events, you will have access to advice and support to allay those fears and feel inspired to take your next career steps with us.
