Overview of Course

Overview of Course

The aim of this online programme is to introduce learners to Lancashire and South Cumbria NHS Foundation Trust (LSCFT) as an option for sustained employment and prepare individuals with their application and interview strategy for Mental Health Support roles within the organisation.

This 3-week online course is designed to introduce individuals to roles within mental health and develop the knowledge and skills to successfully complete the application process and be well-prepared for interviews with LSCFT as a Mental Health Support Worker in facilities across Lancashire and South Cumbria. The 3-week course will introduce individuals to working in the NHS, the core values, skills and qualities and the roles and responsibilities required for progression into a clinical environment.

The design of the course is in collaboration with LSCFT to create an intensive programme aimed at individuals who have some experience in care, whether from employment, voluntary or in their personal lives. Individuals who may have been unsuccessful in previous applications for roles within the NHS would benefit from focussed training and development to produce strong applications and be well prepared for the interview process for a range of vacancies across the county. Sessions are delivered by both College and LSCFT staff who will best support you in completion of the application process.

Completion of this programme does not guarantee an interview for a role but will substantially increase your chances with the training and support over the 3-week period.
