“It might be an entry-level role or a job that needs specialist qualifications, but if you are passionate about the health and care services we all rely on, this is a chance to find out about fantastic opportunities for your future.”
A similar event will be held on Friday for secondary schools and colleges, with 26 schools in the North East have registered for.
Ruth Auton, Northumbria Healthcare’s head of education, learning, and organisational development, said: “This event is a fantastic way to raise awareness of the breadth of careers available for all in health and social care.

“NHS and social care organisations offer some very rewarding and valued career pathways and there is so much support in relation to development and career progression.”
