Ken enjoyed the 14 years he spent working in catering but decided it was time for a change. He made the switch to business and administration through an NHS apprenticeship. "I started working in catering for the NHS as soon as I turned 16. I enjoyed it but by the age of 30, I thought I needed a career change before I felt it was too late. I spoke to the HR learning and development manager who went through some details on a secondment in the learning and development department. "I also completed a level 2 NVQ in business administration apprenticeship. I knew that passing it would give me a good chance of getting a full-time job in the team when a job became available and it did! "I’m very proud of completing the apprenticeship. I thought going straight into an admin role would be a difficult transformation. However, I picked up most things quite quickly. Having a good knowledge of using computers and being familiar with the Windows programmes helped me settle in a lot better than I thought. "I am currently undertaking my level 3 NVQ in business administration. I can see myself progressing in my current role and working towards more qualifications so I can achieve bigger and better things!" Ken's career shows that you can change careers even when you're working for us! Search 'NHS careers' to start your career journey.

Becoming a nursing support worker isn’t just a job. It offers you the chance to progress your career in healthcare. Ruth starting her career as a healthcare assistant and is now training to be a nurse, after doing a nursing associate apprenticeship. She told us her story. “I began working at a nursing home as a healthcare assistant after migrating to the UK. My manager told me about the nursing associate apprenticeship. I was supported by the local council to get my level 2 maths qualification and was able to start the apprenticeship. She said that helping vulnerable people is the best thing about her job. “Each day I get the chance to make a meaningful difference, whether it’s offering a kind word, helping people with their daily activities, or caring for them.” But the job doesn’t come without its challenges. “The biggest challenge is managing the emotional intensity. I occasionally feel helpless when I see people in pain or stress, despite my best efforts to help them.” Ruth still wanted to develop her career after completing her apprenticeship. She’s now studying for an adult nursing degree. “My nursing associate apprenticeship really gave me a head start as a nursing student!” “Being a full-time nursing student can be challenging but is always immensely rewarding. I am also grateful for the financial support I receive through the NHS Learning Support Fund. It has allowed me to focus on my studies and ease some of the financial pressures.” Find out more about the routes into nursing. https://lnkd.in/e6C3y4mK #NursingSupportWorkersDay #MSWCelebrationDay

Vanessa has worked at the Royal Berkshire NHS Foundation Trust for the last nine years. From starting on a delivery suite, she is now training and developing future maternity support workers as part of the education team. “Being able to support women and their families at such a vital time in their lives has been one of the highlights of my career. I now get just as much satisfaction in helping other support workers with their skills. I love spending time with new starters and seeing them blossom.” She is continuing her development and hopes to move into a more leadership role in the future. “I am doing an Open University degree in Health and Social Care. I really enjoy learning and I did this out of pure interest in the subject. I am really happy working in education but would love to lead a team of maternity support workers.” Find out more about being a maternity support worker. https://lnkd.in/eWcvnTT2 #MSWCelebrationDay
