Step into Primary Care and Prince’s Trust Pre-Employment Programmes

Greater Manchester Training Hub (GMTH) are recruiting practices and candidates to take part in our Step into Primary Care and Prince’s Trust Pre-Employment Programmes.

Both programmes provide placement opportunities within primary care for ‘ready to work’ candidates that have completed accredited pre-employment training programmes. There is an opportunity for the candidate to interview for a non-clinical role within the practice, following the placement.

The main objectives are to contribute to the future sustainability of the wider primary care workforce, develop a stream of local talent into non-clinical roles across GM primary care and to provide an effective platform for current the primary care workforce to inspire and mentor the next generation of primary care workers.

  • 6-week programme; consisting of 3 weeks of accredited training and a 3-week primary care placement.
  • Training programme including Level 2 customer service accreditation, GDPR/confidentiality, conflict resolution, NHS mandatory and EMIS training.
